referrals

Riverdale is only open to funded referrals from health professionals through the NHS referral process using the national referral form.


Our referral process is simple and efficient so that individuals can receive appropriate treatment quickly. Once received, we normally acknowledge receipt of the referral the same working day.


We only offer planned admission to patients we have assessed and agreed a treatment plan. We do not admit out of hours or in an emergency. Individuals in crisis requiring immediate medical intervention should be urgently directed to their local Accident & Emergency Dept.

If you are uncertain about the appropriateness of a referral we are happy to talk in confidence so please contact us for further information.
