@Humpleupagus @EvilSandmich @moffintosh @lichelordgodfrey @Big_Richard The good ones try, but there’s a reason they referred it - they don’t have the specialized training to do it without a high likelihood of making mistakes. A better solution would be for the specialist do either see the patients earlier or do a quick video consult and set up a plan the GP can administer to bridge the patient until the meeting.

Good luck to your mom, I hope everything works out well for her.
