The gap it fills

NHS dermatology waits run 18+ weeks. Aesthetic clinics regularly identify patients who need specialist care — suspicious lesions, surgical consultations, complex skin conditions — but have no formal private referral pathway. The patient is told to see their GP, or to find someone themselves. The clinical relationship ends.

Handover Health gives clinics a structured way to refer directly to vetted private specialists, with patient consent captured, clinical context included, and every referral tracked from submission to consultation. Crucially, every specialist on the platform agrees to return the patient to the referring clinic for ongoing care — so the clinical relationship is strengthened, not lost.
