Can someone in a walk-in centre arrange a two-week referral?

It's pretty difficult to reach my GP and I'd like to know if it was a good idea to go to a walk-in centre with my symptoms (lumps, tiredness, unexplained pain). (If I can't book an urgent appointment tomorrow morning.) Can they arrange a referral for me if they also suspect it's cancer or will they just send me back to my GP?

Thanks for your help :)

  • Hello peter-la

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some ongoing health problems. I'm afraid that I don't know if a walk-in centre would be able to arrange a referral to a specialist. 

    Hopefully you've been able to speak with your GP today or at least arrange an appointment to see them soon as they will be best placed to arrange any appropriate tests and/or referrals. 

    I hope things improve soon.

    Best wishes,
