Based on the provided UK guideline excerpts, specific referral criteria for a patient with suspected gestational trophoblastic disease to a specialist are not detailed.

However, early pregnancy assessment services are advised to accept self-referrals from women who have had a previous molar pregnancy 5. These services are designed to be available 7 days a week for women with early pregnancy complications, offering ultrasound and assessment of serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels 5. They are staffed by healthcare professionals competent to diagnose and care for women with pain and/or bleeding in early pregnancy 5. A system should be in place to enable referred women to attend within 24 hours if clinically warranted 5.
