AEDS
Referrals
Local CPFT outpatient referrals
Referrals are accepted for any patients registered with a GP within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
This form guides you through all of the essential information required for the team to triage the referral. Please complete as much of the information as possible to ensure it is processed promptly. However, if you are concerned that the individual is high risk, do not wait for information like blood results before making the referral, forward these on afterwards.
We aim to assess urgent referrals within two weeks of referral and non-urgent referrals within eight weeks. Once the patient has been assessed a decision is made regarding the best care for the patient. If the patient is suffering from a moderate or severe eating disorder then most likely outcome will be to be put on the outpatient treatment waiting list. Occasionally day-patient or inpatient treatment may be recommended.

National inpatient referrals
The service accepts referrals for adults suffering from anorexia nervosa, and severe bulimia nervosa for inpatient treatment. These referrals are mainly from the east of England, but referrals from anywhere in England are accepted.
We accept referrals from community eating disorder service's local to where the patient lives. When appropriate, referrals are made directly to the Patient Flow Hub by the community team.
