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

• For Barking and Dagenham: Please send completed referral form via email to CRS@nelft.nhs.uk
• For Havering, Please refer via single point of access referral form (SPA): nelft.haveringreferrals@nelft.nhs.uk

Criteria: The service is available to people over the age of 16 living in Barking and Dagenham and Havering and registered with a local GP.
