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 on ‘continence referral form’ (as attached), through electronic booking or e-mailed  wfadultchsreferrals@nelft.nhs.uk , faxed to 0208 430 8259 or posted direct to service using the details above.

Criteria: Patients over the age of 18 with complex continence needs requiring specialist nursing advice and intervention; patients who have a Waltham Forest GP.
Exclusions: Continence pad provision only; basic continence assessments.
