Search Results for "Ways to refer"
AI summary
You can refer to our services in several ways:
- Self‑referral – Complete the online self‑referral form on the service’s page (or via the general “Refer yourself” link). This is available for services that accept self‑referral.
- GP or primary‑care clinician referral – Your GP (or another primary‑care professional) fills out a referral form and sends it to our Integrated Hub; this is the most common route.
- Referral by other health‑care professionals – Hospital discharge teams, specialists, health visitors, or other professionals can refer you directly to the appropriate service, provided you give permission.
- Referral on behalf of someone else – If the patient cannot refer themselves (e.g., language barrier, disability), a professional can refer with the patient’s consent. Friends and family cannot refer without the patient’s permission.
Before making a referral, check whether the specific service accepts self‑referral; if it does not, use a GP or other professional referral.

Most patients refer themselves to us by completing our online self-referral form. We can also accept referrals from GPs or from other health or care professionals. Friends and family members are not able to make a referral as the patient must give us their permission to use their data. We need to know that people are ready and willing to engage in treatment.
