Search Results for "Ways to refer"

Ways to refer to our services

Self‑referral – If the service accepts self‑referrals, you can complete our online form. Find the form on the specific service page (for example, the Talking Therapies self‑referral form) or go straight to the general referral page.

GP referral – The most common route. Your GP or another primary‑care clinician fills out a referral form and sends it to our Integrated Hub.

Referral by other health or care professionals – GPs, community nurses, mental‑health teams, speech‑and‑language therapists, and other professionals can refer patients on your behalf, provided the patient gives permission.

Children and young people – Parents, carers, or schools can refer a child or young person using the online form for CYP services. Look for the “Children and young people referrals” link on the Ways to refer page.

Autism and ADHD – These services may require extra information. Check the relevant service page before making a referral.

Friends and family – They cannot make a referral directly; the patient must give permission for a professional to refer on their behalf.
