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 to be sent to the email address: ltcbd@nelft.nhs.uk

Criteria: People over with over 17 years old with diabetes. Newly diagnosed or have existing type one or two diabetes. Frequent hospital admissions. (For example, diabetes ketoacidosis, recurrent hypoglycaemia and or insulin initiation/insulin dose adjustment.)
Patients who are registered with a Barking & Dagenham GP.
