Referrals:

GP Referrals (EMIS Practices)

If you are a GP using EMIS, please submit all new routine referrals to this service via Elemental. This is now the standard referral route into NELFT for EMIS practices and replaces the previous email-based process.

Urgent referrals: If you need to make an urgent referral, please continue to use the existing urgent referral pathways and contact the service directly where required. Elemental should not be used for urgent referrals.

This change applies to GP practices using EMIS. Alternative referral routes remain available for practices using other clinical systems.

Other referrals from Community Partner, or self-referral for all teams should be sent to this email address:
BD-MHWT-ReferralHub@nelft.nhs.uk

Criteria:

• Resident in Barking and Dagenham
• Aged 18 and over with a diagnosis of serious mental illness.
• Complex mental health, including dual diagnosis, and social care needs requiring multidisciplinary team interventions.
