Priory Making a Referral Home GPs & Referrers About Making a Referral While we would prefer to receive a GP referral when a patient enters our services, this isn’t always essential. However, we do ask that all patients provide their GP’s contact details upon entry to treatment so that we can: Contact you in the event that the patient requires medication, or is a risk to themselves and/or others Keep you informed of the patient’s treatment and progress, with the patient’s consent For more information on our patient pathway into treatment, click here. When a referral is being made, we offer a simple, efficient process, with a number of secure referral methods available. Referrals are handled by a 24/7 support centre, who help co-ordinate the referral from receipt to find the most appropriate location for your patient. How to make a referral There are a number of ways in which referrals can be made to Priory, all providing a speedy and secure process. For all referral methods, please provide as much information as possible on the patient’s circumstances and relevant medical history, to help us identify the best treatment path. Patient confidentiality is maintained throughout the referral process, and Priory manages all patient data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (2018). 1.
