Next steps
- Once we have received your referral, we may contact you, as the referrer, to get more information if required. Please ensure your contact details are up to date to avoid any delays.
- If your referral meets our criteria, we will then contact the patient or their next of kin to carry out an assessment. This will help to identify the patient’s needs and if they have any concerns that we can help with. We may also be able to signpost or refer to other services if needed.
