We do require a referral form from a medical source for all appointments.

• Self-referrals: ask your GP to refer to you to WNC or fill in the WNC referral form and fax it to our Appointments Team on fax number: +44 20 3212 0835
• Private patients: ask your Consultant for a referral to WNC, or visit our directory of Consultants to find out who can refer you.
• Overseas referrals: your doctor should fax a copy of a recent medical report in English to the administrative team at WNC Head Office fax number: +44 20 3212 0835. We will then contact you to discuss next steps, this may include an admission or appointment date, the name of the consultant and details of how you can pay for any appointments and treatment.

We ask that you give at least 24 hours’ notice where possible to avoid a cancellation charge. Cancellations within 24 hours will incur a 50% cancellation fee. To cancel an appointment please call +44 20 3212 0830 or email appointments@wimbledon-neurocare.com stating clearly:

• The date of your appointment

You will then be sent confirmation of your cancellation.

Our Prepare for your Care page explains each test and how to prepare for it. When you book an appointment, our team will give you any specific instructions if required. You may also wish to view the downloadable flyer related to your test which can be found on the same page.

Your result turn-around time depends on which diagnostic test you have. When booking your appointment please let our bookings team know when your follow-up appointment is with your referring consultant. This will enable us to ensure your results are available in time. Your results will be sent to your referring consultant, who will explain and recommend the next step in your care pathway at your follow up appointment.

When booking your appointment you will be asked if you are privately insured or paying independently. We operate a strict 14 day payment policy. We accept:

• Credit or Debit Card. Please call our Appointments Team on +44 20 3212 0830 and have your card details ready. Please note we do not take American Express cards.

• For treatment covered by health insurance, we will require an authorisation code prior to booking your appointment.

If you are privately insured, you will need to obtain an authorisation code from your insurance company prior to booking an appointment. Once authorisation is given, let us know so we can send the invoice to the correct address. For information on using your insurance please visit the WNC insurance providers page.
