Who can refer
We accept referrals from medical practitioners, such as:
- consultants from Evelina London or other hospitals
- child development centres (for example, community paediatricians, neonatologists and neurologists)
- general practitioners
Referral criteria
Children who live in the southern boroughs of London, Kent, Surrey or Sussex are eligible for consultation and advice appointments, and where clinically indicated, our intensive rehabilitation programmes. For children outside these areas, we can offer one-off consultation and advice appointments. We encourage local therapists to attend these appointments.
Children do not need to be under the care of a medical consultant at Evelina London Children’s Hospital to be referred to us as we accept external referrals directly.
