RefHelp is a local referral management website providing up-to-date guidance to support NHS Lothian referrers with their referrals to secondary care services.
RefHelp reflects a consensus between local clinicians at the interface and seeks to build relationships and understanding across primary and secondary care. The guidance provided is designed to be readily accessible and to help referrers – GPs, secondary care clinicians, dentists, optometrists, practice nurses, third sector, etc. – make the best possible referrals in Lothian.
As a trusted source of evidence-based referral information, RefHelp is constantly evolving to ensure the content reflects the latest referral advice and guidance. As such, clinical specialties are asked to review their content every two years. Future developments are planned to ensure RefHelp remains a dynamic and relevant resource.
