Cancer Referrals

Healthlink in conjunction with the National Cancer Control Program (NCCP) and the GPIT Group have developed electronic referrals from accredited GP practice software systems to the eight specialist cancer centres.

Key points:

• Breast, Prostate and Lung referrals are available for use.
• Forms are based on the NCCP hardcopy form and have been formally approved by the ICGP Quality and Standards Committee.
• Referrals are generated from within the patient file and are delivered to the cancer team who will respond within five working days.
• Acknowledgments are available immediately indicating if the referral has been successfully delivered.
• Responses from the cancer team are integrated with the patient file providing a complete record of the referral/response process.
• The accredited practice software systems are Socrates, HealthOne, Helix Practice Manager and CompleteGP.
