- How patients are referred to a dietitian
In-patients
Inpatients are referred to the dietetic department by the ward via a system called CareFlow.
Out-patients
Patients can be referred to be seen as outpatients. This can be done through a referral letter from clinic by email to: dietitianwhiston.hospital@sthk.nhs.uk or, by internal post, to Dietitians, Therapy Suite Level 1, Whiston Hospital.
The ward can also refer a current inpatient from the ward for an outpatient dietitian appointment. This is done via a system called Careflow Connect.
We are unable to accept any referrals for patients who are not under the care of a Consultant in St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, these patients should be referred to the relevant Community Dietitian.
