Children and young people’s integrated therapy service

Referral form

In an ongoing effort to enhance HCT's referral-in experience for patients, The CYPT service and Project team have collaboratively undertaken the task of re-designing the CYPT digital referral form and referral automation. 

Starting on the 4^th March 2024, HCT will launch the updated digital referral forms. These changes have been made to help improve patient experience by providing easier access to services and streamlining the overall process. Referrals can be made to these services with the below links:

• CYP Occupational Therapy Referral Form (including the Sensory Processing Service)
• CYP Physiotherapy Referral Form
• CYP SLT Referral Form

CYPT will no longer accept handwritten paper referrals. Any referrals sent using this format will be returned with a request to use the digital referral route. GPs can continue to refer into children and young people (CYP) therapies services using either the digital referral form, Ardens or DXS. 

If you have any queries or experience any issues when making a referral, please contact the children's referral hub:
01923 470680 Option 2 or hct.cypspecialistservices@nhs.net

All referrals sent to the service are triaged by a therapist based on the information provided to decide whether an assessment appointment will be offered. 

All referrals are to be made via the CYP occupational therapy referral form (including the Sensory Processing Service). HCT do not accept paper referrals. GPs can continue to refer into CYP Therapies Services using either the Digital Referral form, Ardens or DXS.

If you have any queries or experience any issues when making a referral, please contact the Children's referral hub:
