For Referrers
Referring a patient? Here is what we need.
North Coast Oncology accepts referrals from general practitioners, physicians, gynaecologists, surgeons and radiologists across KwaZulu-Natal. Referrals from other regions are welcomed.
Preferred referral information
To help us plan the first consultation efficiently, please include the following where available:
- Patient demographic details and medical aid information
- Presenting problem and relevant clinical history
- Imaging reports and imaging access (disc, viewer link or referral)
- Pathology reports and receptor status where applicable
- Current medications and comorbidities
- Preferred contact details for the referring practitioner
How to refer
Communication with referrers
Referring practitioners receive a written summary after the initial consultation and at treatment milestones. Where multidisciplinary planning is required, we will notify you of the agreed plan before treatment starts. For urgent clinical questions between letters, the practice cell number is the fastest route.
