For GPs and referrers
Find the right clinician and referral route quickly.
Use body area and clinical interest to identify the relevant Joint Vision specialist, refer directly to allied health where appropriate, and access on-site investigation and acute injury pathways.
Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand
Dr Jasan Dannaway: who to refer, what he sees, referral options, imaging and expected access.
Hip and Knee
Dr Anil Goudar: who to refer, what he sees, referral options, imaging and expected access.
Foot and Ankle

Referral routes
Choose the route that matches the clinical question.
A clear referral should identify the relevant body area, clinical concern, urgency and available investigations. Do not send sensitive clinical information through an ordinary website or unsecured email enquiry.
Referral generally required
Include the clinical question, relevant history, examination findings, prior care and available reports. Preliminary imaging is not always required before referral.
Direct referral or direct patient access
GPs may refer directly to physiotherapy, podiatry, exercise physiology, osteopathy or dietetics. Funding requirements vary.
Fracture and Injury Clinic
Suitable fractures, sprains and sporting injuries may be assessed promptly. Severe or emergency presentations should be directed to an emergency department.
Speak with the Patient Services team
Call to clarify specialist interest, clinic suitability, practical urgency and the correct secure referral route.
Investigations and connected care
Referral does not need to solve every part of the pathway first.
Joint Vision can connect relevant on-site X-ray, musculoskeletal ultrasound, allied health, nursing and rehabilitation around the clinical plan when appropriate.
Imaging and investigations
X-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound can support assessment and follow-up where clinically useful.
