How to refer your patients to our services
All available outpatient clinics are listed on the NHS e-Referral system (eRS). To refer your patients to any of our services, please use the NHS e-Referral system (or Bexley Health Limited Referral Management System) where your patient will be offered the next available appointment within a day of your referral.
In the case that the Trust cannot provide an immediate appointment, 'Defer to Provider' can be selected and the patient will be contacted within 48 hours for an appointment.
Dartford
The DXS Dartford Gravesham and Swanley (DGS) CCG Professional Guidelines & Pathways and Medicines Best Traffic Light areas have the latest clinical guidance and referral pathways for the Trust. We work closely with DGS CCG to ensure these are routinely reviewed and updated where necessary.
Surrounding areas
Referral criteria can be found on the GP zone on your CCGs website or your DXS system if you have this in your area.
Cancer Referrals
Suspected cancers should be referred using the E-referral Service (eRS). If you have any questions, concerns or your required service is not available on eRS, please email dgn-tr.cancerreferral-dvh@nhs.net or call 01322 428216.
Ambulatory Emergency Care (AEC) Referrals
The Trust's AEC at Darent Valley Hospital offers a streamlined diagnosis and treatment for appropriate patients on the same day. In most cases, patients will not require a hospital admission and will be sent home with ongoing clinical care. To make a referral please call the AEC Coordinator on 07925 173747.
