Marketing Medical Imaging

Hi guys, love the show! Especially hearing your ideas about marketing outside the sea of sameness. I would love to hear you guys talk through some ideas for marketing in my world.
I am the marketer at a fair sized medical imaging company ($60m turnover through 10 locations) in Canberra, Australia.
For some background, two main markets
1) referring physicians
2) patients
So, although patients can chose their provider, majority just call the place on the referral they are given from the practitioner. So obviously the aim is to get practitioners to use our referral pads. We are not allowed to have agreements with practitioners, or give them gifts etc.
I currently nurture them via automated email through my CRM. But I find it very difficult to market directly to them. Do we market to our patients in the hopes they influence the practitioners? What else can we offer? Perhaps there is a solution in the web3 space??
Cheers,
Dale Anderson
Marketing Manager and Referrer Liaison, Canberra Imaging Group.
