Clinic type: Surgery - not otherwise specified
Service name: F2F children's surgery at Evelina London Childrne's Hospital, St Thomas' site, Guy's and St Thomas', RJ1

Referrals sent to the nhs.net mailbox or by post from GPs will not be processed.

Referrals from other health professionals

Hospital doctors or other health professionals should email or post a referral letter using the details in the referral contacts box on this page.

Please include a detailed description of the problem.

Emergency referrals

Emergency referrals are received from the accident and emergency department at St Thomas’ Hospital and from other hospitals in south London and south east England.

For emergency referrals, please refer to the general surgery referral checklist (Word 257KB) to make sure that you're ready to provide all the necessary information that our team will need to accept the referral. Then bleep the registrar on call. To do this, call the main hospital switchboard on 020 7188 7188 and choose the option for the bleep desk. The bleep number for the registrar is 2505.
