Referrals

Referrals are made by GPs and health and social care professionals.

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.

Advice is also shared with nursing home residents, and formal and informal carers. The intermediate care team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation support workers.
