Referral from gp

[RScothern]

After failing miserably doing sw at home my gp has given me vouchers to go back to group. Does anyone know if I still have to pay the joining fee? Thanks x

You don't have to pay to join. Make sure you take the form from the GP with you as they need to code on it to put you on the system.

Good luck x

Hi I've just been wondering about asking gp for referral, do you have to fit a certain criteria? Ie do I have to be a certain weight? As far as I'm aware I'm still bmi 40 so very overweight.
If you get the referral do you get something there and then? Or have to wait x
