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 will be accepted from health and social care professionals by email to nelft.haveringreferrals@nelft.nhs.uk. Self-referrals will also be accepted from patients and clients.

Referrals will only be accepted if the patient is housebound. For example, if they are only able to leave home by ambulance. Or there is a nursing need that makes a home visit more appropriate, such as palliative care.

Criteria: People aged 16 and over. People registered with a GP in Havering. People who have a specific nursing need that requires the expertise of a nurse.
