seems to me to be close to what the German is intending

: I agree with this general formulation - weiter- or mitbehandelnd doesn't say anything about specialist or not. This may also be the primary-care (family) physician.

specialist (doctor)
The general practitioner will normally pass you on for supplementary/specific treatment to a specialist - the basic idea behind the NHS. The repeated use of the word doctor is optional, in most cases not needed: "I`m sending you to see a specialist." is usually all the quack says! These guys are usually known in Germany as a Facharzt.

--------------------------------------------------
A specialist is usually called upon because the GP/family physician either doesn`t have the comprehensive knowledge for a specific complaint (he is after all a GENERAL practitioner) or, and this is usually the case, he doesn`t have the technical wizardry available that is so often used in diagnosis. Eye doctors would be a good example here. This can also happen between hospitals - the one I was in sent me to another for two days because they didn`t have the equipment and specialists to do the tests required.
When it`s all over, it`s not so much a case of being referred back to your GP as `returning´ there!

the doctor-in-charge
not necessarily the doctor who gave the inisital treatment. Subsequently some other doctor who should take over the patient till he recovers complely.
