Respiratory Service Referrals

All patients must be referred to an individual clinician or head of the service. New patient referrals will be assessed using a collaborative approach by the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and placed with the correct specialty. To assist in placing the patient appropriately, the following information is helpful:

The urgency and clinic allocation are determined by referral content. If you are concerned with the appointment time allocated to your patient, please phone the Patient Registration Clerk or call the Lung Service Nurse Coordinator.

Lung services are available in four locations. To refer your patient, send a referral, results or reports by fax or mail to your nearest service.
