Gastroenterology and nutrition referrals

Who can refer

We accept referrals for children with gastrointestinal conditions for diagnosis and management. 

We accept referrals from:

  • hospital doctors at Evelina London and other hospitals
  • GPs if a child is suspected of having chronic diarrhoea or blood in poo
  • accident and emergency (A&E) department

Referrals sent to the nhs.net mailbox or by post from GPs will not be processed.

Referrals will be reviewed and directed to the appropriate consultant for management.

Looking for information about private children’s care?

Guy's and St Thomas' Specialist Care delivers private children's services for Evelina London Children's Hospital across medical and surgical specialities for routine and complex care.

Non e-RS referrals

In line with NHS England's Digital First approach, we encourage all external non-e-RS referrals to be submitted digitally.

Digital referrals help reduce delays, improve traceability, minimise the risk of lost or incomplete information, and support safer patient care.
Please submit referrals by email to gstt.elchpaedgastroreferrals@nhs.net

We will continue to accept paper referrals where necessary. However, referrers will be advised to use digital referral methods in future.
