Refer a patient to emergency
If you're a GP, you don’t need to call the emergency department unless you need clinical advice.
Make sure your patient has their referral letter with them. You can fax more information to the emergency department if needed.
If your patient is arriving by ambulance, make sure they have their referral letter and any clinical handover documents with them.
