Action Required – Removal of Outdated Medefer Referral Form
FAO: GP practices in Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge
Medefer services are no longer commissioned by NEL ICB, and Medefer has removed their services from eRS.
The Medefer referral form currently on your system should no longer be used for gastro-hepatology referrals in the Barking & Dagenham, Havering, Redbridge (BHR) area.
A new and updated referral form has already been circulated via primary care communications and must be used going forward. If you require a copy of the updated form, please contact us and we will re-send it to you.
SystmOne Practices: We have been advised by Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) that the old Medefer form cannot be removed centrally. Each practice must remove it from SystmOne individually to prevent inappropriate referrals.
Please action the following:
- Remove the outdated Medefer referral form from your local system.
- Use the updated gastro-hepatology referral form for all future referrals.
Thank you for your prompt cooperation in ensuring referrals are made using the correct form.
