Referral Criteria
For health professionals: referrals to Wessex Neurological Centre
If you have a patient who you suspect has Parkinson´s disease or is already diagnosed you can refer them to us using our referral form (for suspected cases please refer untreated). We aim to see patients with new or suspected Parkinson´s disease within six weeks of receiving the referral form. Patients who have already been diagnosed will be seen within two weeks if it is urgent or later if it is for a general review or check-up. It is therefore important that you include as much information as possible in your referral.
