A new How to refer to us page has been developed on the ‘For clinicians’ section of the Barts and The London website, to provide clear directions for clinicians on how to refer patients to services at the Trust.

Depending on the urgency, and in some cases the specialty, there are different routes to follow for referring patients, as outlined in the referral routes flowchart provided. The preferred method is Choose and Book.  Therefore, wherever possible, to ensure your referral is dealt with swiftly, please use Choose and Book. However, for urgent cancer referrals, written referrals and dental referrals, you should click on the relevant links on the page. For the few remaining ‘exception’ services, guidance on where to send your referrals is provided.

The new page complements the recently launched How to contact us page which lists the full range of contact options available for GPs and other clinicians considering referring patients to us, but who require advice – both urgent and non-urgent – before doing so.
