Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it have a separate 'specific request' section?
Because a referral that does not say what it is asking for gets triaged badly. Naming the question — an opinion, a procedure, joint management, a specific investigation — is what gets the referral to the right clinic at the right priority.
Does the urgency setting change the letter?
Yes. An urgent referral leads with the findings that justify urgency, because that is what the triaging clinician reads first. Setting it correctly matters more than the wording.
Should I rely on the investigations section?
Only after checking it. The tool writes from what you typed and can round, generalise or add a plausible result. Referral decisions are made on those numbers, so verify them against the actual results.
Can I include patient identifiers?
No. Write the clinical picture with age and findings; add identifiers in your own system when you transfer the letter, not in the tool.
Does this meet my local referral criteria?
It does not know them. Two-week-wait and equivalent pathways have specific criteria and often mandatory proformas. Use this for the narrative and put it through the required form.
About Medical Referral Letter Writer
The Medical Referral Letter Writer produces a structured referral — reason, clinical history, investigations, current management, and an explicit request — from a clinical summary and a target specialty.
The specific-request section is the one that changes outcomes. Referrals get triaged on whether the receiving clinician can tell what is being asked; a letter that describes a patient without naming the question lands in the wrong clinic or the wrong queue. This structure forces that to be stated.
Urgency genuinely reshapes the letter rather than just adding a label, moving the findings that justify the priority to the front where a triaging clinician will see them.
Check the investigations section against the real results before sending, keep identifiable data out of the input, and put the narrative through whatever proforma your local pathway requires — the tool does not know your referral criteria. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
