Greetings one and all!

I am a newly qualified podiatrist and I'm hoping to set up in private practice. Initially I am looking to build a domicilliary client base as well as in residential and care homes, with a view to expand into a clinic. I have been trying to rent a room in local GP surgeries but have had no luck so far, but there are a few more I could try.
Not being all too familiar with private practice I had a few queries which I hoped someone here could help with.
1) Is it common practice to inform the GP of a new client/patient that you are seeing them for podiatric consults (with the consent of the Pt of course)? Is this something you do and would you recommend it?
I was hoping this would not only keep the patient's GP informed but also raise my profile, and as a result promote podiatry services for potential referrals in the future.
2) If you seek referrals from GPs how do you do so? From what I've heard it can be difficult, is this something you have experienced (I guess it depends on individual GPs).
I'm sure I had more questions to ask, but they seem to have gone, so I will probably ask them at a later date.
Thanks in advance, and any additional tips/advice would be much appreciated. ;)
