Making a referral
You can refer patients to our overall pain service, or directly to one of our specialties if your patient meets the criteria. Our specialities are:
- chronic pain
- headache and facial pain, including fast track cluster headache
- INPUT pain management courses to manage long-term pain (residential or outpatient)
GP referrals
All NHS GP referrals must be submitted using the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS). Referrals sent by email or post from NHS GPs will not be processed.
We accept referrals from GPs in:
- Lambeth Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)
- Lewisham CCG
- Southwark CCG

Tertiary referrals
NHS consultants at other hospitals can email referrals to gst-tr.painreferralsandadmin@nhs.net.
Please provide as much information as possible. We may contact the patient before offering an appointment. This will help us book your patient into the right clinic.

We accept referrals for patients:
- who are over 18
- have been in pain for more than 3 months
