GP referral · routine

The routine referral letter: the clinical question and the history a receiving clinic needs to triage it.

About the GP referral · routine

A referral letter earns its place by answering one question clearly: why is this patient being sent, and what does the referrer want done. The routine variant states the clinical question and a history summary up front, so the receiving clinic can triage it without a phone call.

A routine specialist referral carrying the clinical question and a history summary.

The template, filled in.

The section headings below are the shape this template lays down. The content is a synthetic worked example, not a real patient, so you can see what a filled document looks like before you sign up.
