From December 2022, the RNOH Neuro-urology service committed to using ‘PATHPOINT’, an electronic referral and pathway management system, for all Consultant-led referrals from secondary and tertiary care organisations. 

General Practitioners should continue to refer to RNOH using the UK Electronic Referral System (ERS)- please see below. 

PATHPOINT offers significant benefits to referrers: 

  • Secure, streamlined, electronic referral forms 
  • Receive updates and notifications in real time 
  • Increased visibility of all referrals and triage outcomes

  4. Click the drop down list of referral pathway forms and select "Urology" and click "Go to referral form" to launch the form
