- Referrals
- Self Referral
- A Self-Referral is when a person contacts a care provider personally by letter, email, phone call or making an appointment or attending a care setting or surgery and requesting help.
- Access to the primary healthcare services such as doctors, dentists and opticians, is normally through self-referral. Many social care services for children and adults are accessed by self-referral.
- Third Party Referral
- A Third-Party Referral is when a friend, neighbour or relative contacts a health or care service on another person’s behalf.
- For example, a neighbour may ring the social services department on behalf of a frail elderly person to request care support, or a relative concerned about the general health of a person with Down’s Syndrome may contact the GP. These referrals are usually to services that are accessible through Self-Referral.
- Professional Referral
- A Professional Referral is when a health or care professional contacts another service provider to request support for a service user.
- For example, A GP referring a service user to a hospital consultant, or a head teacher referring a child with learning difficulties to an educational psychologist, or a social worker contacting the domiciliary care services for a client with disabilities.
