Search Results for "Ways to refer"

You can refer to our services in a few different ways:

• Self‑referral – For services that allow it (like NHS Berkshire Talking Therapies for Anxiety and Depression), you can fill out the online referral form yourself or have a relative do it on your behalf. Check the specific service page first because not every service accepts self‑referrals. View our services

• GP referral – This is the most common route. Your GP or another primary‑care clinician completes a referral form and sends it to our Integrated Hub.

• Children and young people referrals – If you need a referral for a child or young person, visit our dedicated referral page to see what support is available and then submit the referral.

• Referral by a health or care professional – If a patient cannot refer themselves (e.g., language barriers, disability), a GP, health visitor, or another professional can refer them with the patient’s permission.

• Friends or family – They cannot make a referral directly because the patient must give permission for their data to be used.

If you’re unsure which route is right for you, you can always start with a self‑referral form or ask your GP for help. For more details, see the “Ways to refer” page on our website.
