020 3640 7722 Request care

Professional referrals

For social workers, discharge coordinators, GPs, district nurses and case managers. Send it over and a named coordinator will come back to you with a clear answer on capacity.

2-hour acknowledgement

Every referral is acknowledged within two hours during working time, with a named coordinator attached to it.

A straight yes or no

We tell you honestly whether we have capacity. If we cannot take it on, you will know quickly enough to place it elsewhere.

Same-day mobilisation

Where it is urgent, rapid response puts a carer in place within two to four hours, including out of hours.

Documentation ready

Insurance, policies, CQC status and KPI data available the same working day. See the pack →

How it works

From referral to care in place

  1. 1. You send the referral

    Using the form here, by email, or by phone if it is urgent. Include the discharge summary and medication list where you have them.

  2. 2. We acknowledge within 2 hours

    In working time. You get a named coordinator and a reference, not an automated reply.

  3. 3. Capacity confirmed

    A clear answer on whether we can take it, when we could start, and what we would need first.

  4. 4. Assessment and start

    Assessment within 48 hours as standard, or same-day where rapid response applies. Care plan shared with you and the GP.

  5. 5. Feedback loop

    You receive an update after the first week and are copied into the six-week review outcome where appropriate.

Urgent referral?

Do not use the form. In office hours call 020 3640 7722. Outside them, our 24/7 lines are 07983 163392 or 07399 472345 — answered by a real person who can reach the on-call team.

Referral form

Please only include information you are authorised to share. Do not include full clinical records in this form.
