At the Sloane Court Clinic we receive tens, if not hundreds, of referrals a week. But what happens after a referral is sent in to our team?

We receive referrals from GPs, other medical professionals, business organisations, academic pastoral teams, NGOs, embassies and also directly from a prospective patient themselves.

Here, Dr Robert Harland, consultant psychiatrist, discusses the initial phases of reviewing, risk assessing and considering a new prospective patient referral.
