Referring for GA (General Anaesthetic)

As a referring practice or clinician you are not able to specify any indication for General Anaesthetic

GA is not a service you can refer for as a GDP. You may enter that the patient is anxious and send a patient for sedation, however the assessment as to what type of sedation a patient will receive is entirely based on the opinion of the specialist sedation practice.
Should a specialist sedation practice choose to accept a referral then they will treat the patient, if they deem the case more serious they may choose to refer it onto the hospital provider you selected.
