How our referral process works

1. Submit a patient referral using our form

Referring a patient takes just a few minutes. Complete our online referral form with the patient’s details and a brief summary of their needs.

2. We’ll contact the patient or family

Once we receive your referral, we’ll reach out to the patient or their family directly. We take time to listen, answer questions and explain what to expect.

3. We’ll complete a clinical assessment

We’ll carry out a thorough assessment. This allows us to build a care plan that’s personalised to the patient.

4. Care begins with Ellea Nursing

We’ll move quickly, making the transition into care smooth and stress-free so patients and families can focus on what matters most.
