How to make a referral
Please post or email your referral to the address in the referral contact box.
You must state clearly the reason for referral, along with the following information:
- the patient's name, date of birth and contact details
- the patient's NHS number
- the patient's GP, including contact details
- a diagnosed condition and current clinical presentations or signs
- relevant medical history and any concurrent treatment
- any transport or interpreter services which may be required
Electronic referrals are also accepted through the EPR system at King's College Hospital.
We aim to process all referrals within 2 working days. After this, we'll send out a letter to the referred patient inviting them to contact the department and arrange an appointment.
