Getting a referral rather than a refusal — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable.

What changes if the standard account of getting a referral is wrong? I ask because I have been treating it as settled and I noticed this week that I could not say why.

Working through the consequences rather than the evidence, since others here are better placed on the evidence.

Agreed on all of that, and I have nothing to add to it.

No disagreement from me. Posting only so the question does not look ignored.

Coming back to post #7, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Practical note on getting a referral: write down what you expect before you look. The number of times I have found what I went looking for is higher than chance would allow.

Picking up post #8: that is the part I would want checked first.

Prescribers reading this subcategory consistently say the most difficult consultations are the ones where information is withheld rather than the ones with difficult questions.

I am not the right person to answer the follow-up to this.
