To help referring clinicians prepare the necessary documentation and ensure timely, appropriate triage, we have created this Referral Pack. The forms and guidance included support our collaborative model of care and ensure our clinical resources are directed where they’re needed most.
This pack includes:
- Referral Form
- General and Physical Seating Assessment Forms
- Referral Priority Scoring Scale
- Risk Assessment Form
To help ensure a smooth referral process, we ask that the following steps are followed
- Referral Form – Page 1
This form must be fully completed, including:
- Referring clinician’s contact details
- Signature from the OT manager or clinical coordinator
Why OT Manager Sign-off Is Requested
- Ensures the OT manager is aware of and engaged in the process from the start
- Helps identify the most appropriate referral pathway
- Supports communication in cases where teams change or rotate
-Referral Priority Scoring Scale
We’ve introduced a new scoring tool to help us triage referrals based on urgency.
- Referring clinicians should complete Page 3 of the referral pack.
- The tool is designed to be intuitive, but we welcome any queries.
-Assessment Forms
Please include:
- General Seating Assessment Form (Part 1)
- Physical Seating Assessment Form (Part 2)
These are important for all referrals unless the person was recently seen (within ~6 months).
At SeatTech, we value strong collaboration with primary clinicians — whether you're part of a CDNT, primary care, or another service. Our role is to complement your work by providing specialist input where needed.
We aim to:
- Target our input where it adds the most value
- Empower clinicians through shared learning
- Be flexible and responsive, acknowledging variations in team composition and capacity
