RLH Adults Dermatology service A&R switch on
The RLH Dermatology Department has switched to an Advice and Refer service. What this means for any GPs referring to the service is that for any routine adult dermatology referral you make, you may receive advice first (if this is suitable). If advice is not suitable, your referral will be triaged faster (within 5 days and patient slotted in to correct clinic instead of being added to the PTL list).
Attached is a 1-page briefing and an additional file with detailed information on A&R.
A&R relies on good images being included with referrals and the FAQ included reminds every one of the responsibilities while taking pictures and including them with referrals. Please can you share this email and documents within to all practice staff who refer to the Dermatology service.
If you have any queries, you may reach out to RLH Dermatology department on bartshealth.general-dermatologyrlh@nhs.net or Anwar Miah at the ICBs Planned Care team on anwar.miah@nhs.net
