Referring a patient to Delmont can be a simple process. No matter which Delmont service you direct your patient to, we have created a general referral letter format applicable to any of these services. This 9 point checklist referral letter can be used for either an open referral or a direct referral.
By downloading this soft copy referral letter, it will save you time and ensure patients can be referred to the Specialist best suited to their needs.
We understand that every GP Practice is different in their procedures, thus there are two options of sending us patients' referral: email or FAX.
Both options are received in an electronic format. All referrals are handle in a private and confidential manner as all information. Upon receipt of GP referral. we will endeavour to acknowledge ALL referrals within 5 business days to the sender.
