Self-referral Information

Save Time: Refer Yourself Directly to Specialist Care

Did you know you don't always need to see a GP to get a referral? For many common health, mental health, and physical therapy services, you can refer yourself directly online or by phone.

Why Self-Refer?

🚀 It’s Faster: You bypass the GP waiting list and go straight to the specialist team who will manage your care.
📞 No Phone Queues: You don't need to call the surgery at 8:00 AM to book an appointment just to ask for a referral.
📱 Done in Minutes: Most self-referrals can be completed online from your phone or computer at any time of day.

If a child or young person is struggling with their emotional wellbeing or mental health, you can access specialist support directly. Oldham CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service) provides help for children and teenagers up to the age of 18 and their families.

Who can refer: Self-referrals can be made directly by a parent, a carer, or by a young person themselves (if they are old enough). Note: Please ensure you have the young person’s consent before submitting.
