How to get a referral

Following an assessment, usually by your GP, a referral will be made for your child to be seen by a member of the Children and Young People Team at University Lewisham Hosital.  This referral can be made in a few different ways, as follows:

  • NHS eReferral Service – you can book an appointment with your chosen service directly, either at your GP surgery or at home; choosing a date and time that is suitable for you.
  • Direct referral – this is where the person referring your child will send a letter or email to the chosen service and you will then receive the next available appointment, which will be sent to you by post.

Any queries regarding appointments can be directed to the person referring you or to the Appointments team at University Hospital Lewisham on 020 8333 3216.

Your appointment

Please bring list of medications, growth chart (red book) to all clinic visits.

Medical students may accompany the consultant to see patients, as part of their training.

If you no longer need your appointment, or need to change it, please call the appointments line on 020 8333 3216 (Option 2) or re-book your appointment using the NHS eReferral Service.
