Two services are provided: Tissue viability and Leg Ulcer service. Each service has a slightly different referral form and patients are seen in different venues. The Leg Ulcer service is based and care provided at Hainault Health Centre. The Tissue Viability Service visits patients in their home, GP practice, nursing home and residential homes.

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 will be accepted by emailing the referral form direct to the service.
