Please let me enetr this dialogue. In the UK, a GP might refer a patient to a named "Cardiologist". However, that referral, upon arrival at the hospital, might be handled by the "Cardiology Team" of that cardiologist. One might argue here that the 'team' is really a department, albeit, a unit within the "Cardiology department". Equally, the referral from the originating GP could be directed at the "cardilogy department" without specifying the named provider.
