If your Doctor has referred you to a Specialist for further care you will be asked to book your appointment using the ‘NHS e-Referral’ system. It’s fast, convenient and secure.
- The Manage Your Referral website is easy for patients to use. It allows them to book, check, change and cancel their appointments online
- Patients can take control and book their own appointment on a convenient date and time and at their preferred hospital or Clinic if there is a choice
- No more worried patients having to contact the Practice to find out what is happening with their appointment
You will normally receive a letter from us within 2 weeks giving details of how to book your appointment and any passwords you may need.
To track your e-Referral you will need the following details to log into the e-Referral website:

Neurodevelopmental Disorder
A neurodevelopmental disorder is a way of describing some of the difficulties or differences a child or young person’s brain may show when processing information. This may affect their behaviour, learning, memory or social skills.
Common Neurodevelopmental Disorders include:
- Autism
- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
- Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
- Developmental Language Disorder
- Learning Difficulties
- Motor or vocal tics
Sometimes these terms can help us to understand a child’s strengths and needs. They however do not tell us exactly how a child or young person may need help and support. Remember each person is unique with their own strengths and needs. It is therefore more useful to think about the skills a child or young person has as well as what areas they may need help and support with.
For example, it is more useful to use terms such as:
- Learning skills
- Social and interaction skills
- Memory skills
- Language and communication skills
- Activity levels or concentration skills
- Sensory skills
Using these terms helps to really understand what a child or young person needs and what may be the best strategies as well as services we can use to support them.
For this pathway a self-referral, or a referral by a professional who monitors the child needs more closely can be done using the following link HERE
