Haematology Advice & Guidance

 

RCHT Haematology Advice & Guidance

 

From 11th May 2020 Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust will be offering an advice and guidance service on e-Referrals for Haematology queries.

 

The Advice & Guidance service is to be used to obtain a diagnosis or management advice from a Consultant Haematologist.

GPs will be able to request consultant advice on Haematology queries for potential referrals into secondary care.

 

The service is to offer advice on management and treatment options for GPs to consider prior to referral with the aim of reducing the number of patients who need to be seen face to face.

 

Exclusions to this service include:

2WR referral criteria

 

If the patient is already under a Haematology consultant, please include the details of which consultant in the request, in order that discussions can be had with the relevant consultant as required.

 

Clinical responsibility remains with the GP until the patient is seen within secondary care.
