Important Update – Antenatal Referral Pathway Change
SESLHD’s latest eReferral implementation introduces a notable change to Antenatal referral pathways across SESLHD.
A GP referral is now required for patients to access Antenatal care with required supportive information outlined on the Antenatal eForm.
Patients will no longer be able to self‑refer to Antenatal services.
Flexibility will be applied in specific circumstances, particularly around gestation or clinical considerations, where timely access to care is required.
Preferred Referral Method – Healthlink
As part of SESLHD’s commitment to improving the safety, efficiency, and timeliness of managing patient referrals:
All practitioners with Healthlink access are strongly encouraged to submit referrals electronically via the Healthlink platform when referring to Outpatient services across SESLHD.
SESLHD is progressively moving away from paper‑based referral pathways, including fax and email.
The services listed below apart of SESLHD previous implementation are now accepting eReferrals as the preferred referral method. In addition, there are more than 115 services already live and accepting eReferrals across SESLHD.
