Referrals
Self-referral For Local Services
Most referrals to other specialists will require you seeing or speaking with a GP, however there are a number of services locally, listed below that you are able to make self-referrals to.
Simple Wound Clinic
You can self refer to the simple wound clinic.
The simple wound care service manages acute wounds (cuts), post-surgical sutures or clips removal, routine dressings, superficial skin ulcers and first degree superficial burns.
Domestic Abuse Aware Practice
The staff in your GP practice are trained to ask about domestic abuse and specialist workers are available to support you. Your practice is an ‘IRIS’ practice. You can talk to the doctors, nurses or other staff working here, if you are being hurt or controlled by your current or ex-partner, are afraid of someone at home or a member of your family.
The IRIS service is for all GP patients and staff aged 18 or over, whatever age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or background.
Social isolation can increase stress at home, impacting on you and your family’s well-being. Your GP practice is here to help you.
Please contact your GP for help and advice. They will refer you to the practices’ IRIS worker, the ‘IRIS Advocate Educator’.

Pregnancy self-referral | BHR Hospitals
You will normally be seen for your first appointment between 8 to 10 weeks, depending on your gestation when we receive your self-referral.
We advise that all pregnant women take 400 micrograms of Folic Acid until they are 12 weeks pregnant and 10 micrograms of Vitamin D a day for the duration of their pregnancy.
Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services
The new model recognises that not all children and young people’s emotional and well-being needs are best supported in specialist CAMHS services, but rather within their own wider networks of support.
The Wellbeing Hub will support children and young people with emotional and psychological needs/disorders by providing both assessments, signposting and referral to the most appropriate type of support from universal and targeted services, and direct specialist support when required.
The Wellbeing hub is, therefore, the front door to all local Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Support services.
The Wellbeing Hub will accept self-referrals and Parent/Carer referrals, along with referrals from professionals.
