Information for GPs & Referring Hospitals

OBSTETRIC REFERRALS

In order to help you provide us with all the relevant information about your patient, the Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital has created a Maternity Registration Form for women whose pregnancy you have confirmed and whom you wish to refer to the hospital. You can download this form here: Maternity Patient Registration Form

Your patient must complete this form, which will help us to have the patient's full details on file before she attends, and will also help us to ensure your patient receives an appropriate and timely appointment.

Please advise your patient that her appointment will only be processed when we receive the completed form.

The form can be posted to the Central Appointments Office, Appointment Scheduling Department, Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital, Cork Street, Dublin 8 or faxed direct to the Outpatient Department on 01 4085560. Please make sure you retain a copy for your own records.

GYNAECOLOGY REFERRALS

GPs can send General Gynaecology eReferrals through Healthlink, the HSE's national web based messaging project. This means your practice does not have to worry about sending faxes or getting your patients to deliver referral letters.

If sending a referral by An Post, please address the envelope to the Central Appointments Office - Gynaecology

For specialised Gynaecology referrals, or if your practice is not connected to Healthlink, you may refer your patient as you normally do with a GP Referral letter, or by using the customised GP Referral Form. You can download this form here: GP Referral Form
