Referral questions
Before sharing information
Can a professional send records securely?
Please make contact first. The practice will confirm what is relevant and provide an appropriate method; sensitive records should not be attached to an initial website enquiry.
Are reports guaranteed to be accepted by employers, schools or other clinicians?
No provider should guarantee universal acceptance. Requirements vary. The intended recipient and purpose should be clarified before assessment.
Can urgent risk referrals be accepted?
The website enquiry route is not an emergency pathway. Immediate risk should be directed to local emergency, GP or crisis services.
Adults, children and families
Referral pathways for different needs
Referrals may relate to adult assessment, child or young person ADHD and autism assessment, specialised neurodevelopmental therapy or parent consultation. Suitability, consent, safeguarding and scope are discussed before any appointment is agreed.
Children and families informationReceiving service requirements checked first
Reports can be prepared to relevant HSE requirements where applicable. Private report acceptance depends on the receiving service, pathway and current HSE standards.
Plan specific cover
We accept a range of private health insurance arrangements. Clients should confirm cover before the assessment or treatment begins.
Professional referral route
One referral route for GPs, schools, solicitors and other professionals
Start with the referral question, the purpose of the report and any deadline or external standard. Please do not attach full clinical, education or legal records to an initial email. We will confirm what information is relevant and the appropriate secure transfer method.
Healthcare
GPs, psychologists, therapists and other clinicians can clarify the clinical question, existing diagnoses, relevant risk information and the intended use of the report.
Education and care
Schools, colleges, foster or residential services and support teams can identify the functional question, settings affected and any education or care planning requirements.
Legal and workplace
Solicitors, employers and occupational contacts should identify the decision the report is expected to inform and any formal evidential standard before assessment is booked.
Educational assessment
Learning and psychoeducational questions
Where the main question concerns learning profile, literacy, numeracy, cognitive strengths or academic progress, use the educational assessment pathway rather than an ADHD or autism page alone.
