Referrals

Most referrals to other specialists will require you speaking with a GP. However, there are a number of services locally that you are able to make self-referrals to. These include self-referrals for:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Drugs & Alcohol
• Sexual Health
• Smoking Cessation
• Stress
• Weight Management
• Young Carers

If your doctor has referred you to a specialist for further care you will be asked to book your appointment using the ‘NHS e-Referral’ system.

You will need the following details to log into the e-Referral website:

• Your date of birth
• Reference number
• Password

The Minor Injuries Units (MIUs) at Doddington, Ely, and Wisbech provide assessment and treatment for patients with minor injuries or illnesses that do not require emergency care at an Accident & Emergency (A&E) department. This is typically a walk-in service.

We may direct you to Ely Minor Injuries if you have any of the following conditions:

• Acute wounds, cuts, and bruises (no long-term or chronic wounds)
• Wound closure (suturing/steri-strips) (MIU does not remove stitches or clips)
• Bites – human, animal, and insect
• Minor burns and scalds
• Muscle and joint injuries – strains, sprains, suspected limb fractures (X-rays only after clinical assessment by a practitioner and only if there has been an injury)
• Sports injuries
• Minor illness – first-line treatment only (not treated if you have already seen your GP for the same issue)
• Eye injuries – minor only
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs) – females only, aged 16–64 years. (Urine dipsticks only if clinically indicated)
