Referral forms

A fully completed referral form should accompany each sample and some referrals also require a pre-referral form.

Referral forms must be legible (it is possible to type the information into the available PDFs) and provide:

  • patient's full name
  • date of birth and NHS / hospital number
  • patient's postcode
  • name and address for invoicing for non-NHS referrals
  • full name and address of referring clinician
  • referral reason and test/s required
  • information regarding any known or suspected infection risks (e.g. HIV / Hep B & C / TB) must be clearly documented
