For UK private medical consultants
GPs in your area don't know what you offer, so they refer elsewhere
Most UK consultants receive the bulk of their referrals from a small fraction of their GP contacts. The remaining local GPs either don't know you exist or don't know your full range. That's a significant untapped source of patients.

From Paul
Tell me where that £24,192 is coming from, and I'll come back with the three things to fix first.
A few quick questions, about two minutes, and no typing. I read every one myself and reply with the three things costing you most and where I'd start. If it's useful, we talk. If not, you've still got a clear picture.
No obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one, and nothing automated lands in your inbox.
Paul, Solvable
- Referrals rely on existing relationships rather than active outreach
- GPs lack clear information on your service and how to refer
- There is no plan to broaden the referring base
- Awareness is left to word of mouth
How to fix it
Identify the practices in your area that do not currently refer to you Make your service and referral route easy to find and to use Build relationships through clear, useful communication with local GPs
Frequently asked questions
Why does this problem persist?
Referrals come from the same few practices out of habit There is no active outreach to GPs who do not yet refer GPs cannot easily find out what you offer or how to refer
This is exactly what I do with UK private practices. Answer the few questions above and I'll come back personally with where to start. Paul.
