Referral criteria
If you have previously received input from CINSS and your needs have changed as a result of your neurological diagnosis, please call 0116 295 3309 to self-refer to the team.
If you are new to our service and require input, you should speak to your GP or a health or social care professional involved in your care who can make a referral. Once the team receive the referral it will be reviewed by a clinician and allocated to the most appropriate waiting list. You will then receive a letter to confirm your referral has been accepted and that you are awaiting an assessment from the team.
