We have a specific referral form that we ask each referrer to complete fully, as all of the information requested within it is important.
Families are also able to self-refer via feds@spft.nhs.uk and by completing the form above.
We advise all families or professionals to organise a GP appointment so that all of the physical health data asked for on the referral form can be taken.
There is guidance on the form to support referrers with this process.
For advice on whether a child or young person meets our criteria please call 01444 472670, choosing option 4, between Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm. Alternatively, please complete our referral form and email it to FEDS@spft.nhs.uk or spnt.feds@nhs.net.
We aim to be in contact within 24 hours of the referral being received. If we receive the referral outside of normal working hours we will be in contact on the next working day.
If a child/young person becomes physically unwell whilst waiting for a referral please either contact their GP, call the NHS non-emergency helpline 111 or attend A&E. If it is an emergency dial 999.
