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.

Referrals from GPs and services outside of NELFT should use the Barking and Dagenham Memory Service referral form.

Referrals can be agreed through either a scheduled consultation or by contacting the team via the generic email address: BDmemoryservice@nelft.nhs.uk 

Referral criteria and exclusions: Please see the Referral Criteria document available in the 'Documents for Clinicians' section.
