Who to refer

You can refer patients for the following reasons:

Psychiatric assessments for inpatients and outpatients.
Patients where a second opinion on Mental Capacity is needed or who require a routine application for Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (An initial assessment on capacity should always be performed by the primary decision maker. This will be the team for medical decisions or a social worker / CDT for decisions regarding social care. If it is still not clear whether the patient has capacity, please refer to psycho oncology for a second opinion)
Counselling
Cognitive behavioural therapy
Psycho-sexual counselling
Clinical Psychology
Psycho-Oncology and dementia

We do not accept referrals for Christie clinic patients.

“Of course, the COVID-19 virus has not gone away – we have to be cautious and we have to proceed in an appropriate way.”

Professor John Radford, director of research at The Christie

“I don’t feel at all isolated or abandoned. My care has continued to be provided to the same high standard… I know there is someone at the end of the phone day or night if I need them.”

Jane Emery, Christie patient

“[The Christie] have made what is sometimes an unbearable situation that little bit more manageable… [they] continue to support remotely which is so reassuring.”

Andrew Rostron, Christie patient
