Adult Community Therapy Services
The community therapy service accepts referrals from a variety of different sources, including health care professionals and patient self referrals.
Once a referral is received it will be screened and triaged by a clinician who may call the patient or referrer for further information. Following this, the referral will be prioritised according to our referral criteria.
Referral criteria
Adults over the age of 18 registered with a GP in Leicester, Leicestershire or Rutland who require rehabilitation.
Criteria exclusion
Anyone not registered with a GP in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and those under 17 years of age. If a referral is not appropriate for community therapy, the referrer will be signposted to the most appropriate service.
