In the NHS, you usually can't see a specialist directly—your GP must 'refer' you. A referral is the official recommendation to see a consultant, specialist clinic, or hospital department. 'Getting a referral' is often the first step to specialist care.

在NHS体系中，通常不能直接看专科医生，全科医生（GP）必须「转介」你。转介是推荐你去看顾问医生、专科门诊或医院科室的正式文件。「Getting a referral」往往是看专科的第一步。

En el NHS, normalmente no puedes ver a un especialista directamente; tu médico de cabecera (GP) debe «derivarte». Una derivación es la recomendación oficial para ver a un consultor, clínica especializada o departamento hospitalario. «Getting a referral» suele ser el primer paso para la atención especializada.

NHSでは通常、直接専門医を受診できず、かかりつけ医（GP）が「紹介」する必要がある。紹介状は専門医、専門クリニック、病院の部門を受診するための正式な推薦。「Getting a referral」は専門医にかかるための最初のステップ。

NHS에서는 보통 전문의를 직접 만날 수 없고, 주치의(GP)가 '의뢰(refer)'해야 한다. 의뢰(referral)는 전문의, 전문 클리닉, 또는 병원 부서에 진료를 의뢰하는 공식적인 추천이다. '의뢰를 받다(getting a referral)'는 전문 진료의 첫 단계인 경우가 많다.
