Self referrals are currently unavailable
The professional portal is currently closed. This is so we can undertake a review and maintenance of the site. In the meantime, if you have a patient you wish to refer, please follow these options:
1. Encourage the person to self-refer by asking them to visit the site for their local borough and accessing the self-referral portal - https://www.penninecare.nhs.uk/healthyminds
2. If the patient requires a professional referral or your professional opinion is that one is needed to accompany the referral, please contact the local Healthy Minds Service by accessing the link https://www.penninecare.nhs.uk/healthyminds
The service will then be able to send you the referral form to complete or direct you the intranet page to download the referral form. We apologise for any inconvenience.
