Live Outside London?

Please do call us to discuss and we will be able to offer you some advice and signposting on how to access the support you need

• If you live outside of London, it is possible for you to access PHP
• Any Doctor or Dentist can request a referral from their own GP
• If you don’t have a GP or have concerns about speaking to them please call us to discuss

Any patient in England has the legal right to choose their provider of care (if provider is recognised as an NHS provider) and so any doctor or dentist can request a referral from their GP.

PHP will provide an assessment and discuss a proposed treatment plan with you. If treatment can be provided within PHP then care can be initiated, however please note that if treatment requires input from external provider we will need to discuss this with your GP and agree a referral route.
