Referrals

We can only accept consultants within the OUH or GP referrals from the musculoskeletal hub.

A strict appointment system operates, and referrals are prioritised on clinical need, based on the information supplied by the referring medical practitioner.

When referring a patient please ensure that your letters include the following information.

• Full GP practice details
• Patient data including the patient's name, date of birth and telephone number
• Patient's NHS number
• All relevant clinical information and indication of urgency
• Information on any relevant pathology and/or results of radiology investigations
• Whether the patient needs transport on medical grounds
• Whether the patient needs an interpreter

Referrals can be sent to our secure email address: noc.physio@nhs.net
