18 Weeks Inter-Provider Transfers

The Department of Health mandated the use of a minimum data set for inter-provider transfers from 1st January 2008. The pathway data contained within this data is essential in order for receiving organisations to accurately monitor and report patient waiting times.

Inter-Provider Transfers to Guy's and St Thomas'

Referrals from other hospitals to Guy's and St Thomas' must include a completed Inter-Provider Minimum Data Set or ensure that one is sent within 48 hours of referring a patient.
