Referrals

Criteria for referral


Group 1

Life-threatening conditions for which curative treatment may be feasible but can fail, and if so, access to palliative care services may be necessary. (Examples: cancer, irreversible organ failures of heart, liver, kidney)


Group 2

Conditions which mean that premature death is inevitable but there may be long periods of intensive treatment aimed at prolonging life and allowing participation in normal activities.


Group 3

Progressive conditions without curative treatment options, where treatment is exclusively palliative and may typically extend over many years. (Examples: Batten’s disease,
mucopolysaccharidosis, muscular dystrophy.)


Group 4

Irreversible but non-progressive conditions causing severe disability leading to susceptibility to health complications and likelihood of premature death. (Examples: severe cerebral palsy, or multiple disabilities such as those which can result from brain or spinal cord injury).
