PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS
All pediatric referrals must be sent to the central referral fax number:
FAX: 778-787-1470
The Referral Form is available on Pathways and is available in your EMR.
Please ensure the Referral Form clearly states the referral concern and relevant investigations/information are attached. Please do not send whole chart copies.
The shortest waitlist for any patient will be via the first available selection, however you do still have the option to select a preferred pediatrician. Referrals cannot be sent to a specific office and in this case, the referral will be triaged to first available.
Please direct your patients to the While you Wait resources on the Patients & Families page.
For Primary care providers managing youth with mental health concerns: If needing advice, we recommend reaching out to COMPASS CHILD AND YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE SERVICE-BC CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. There is a very easy to complete referral form on Pathways or you can call to schedule an appointment. The service can be accessed M-F, 9am-5pm. 1-855-702-7272.
There are also many excellent guidelines for managing pediatric health concerns available on Pathways and in the links below, but as always, we are happy to provide non urgent telephone advice, when needed, while your patient waits to see the pediatrician. The NRGH pediatrician on call is available for urgent concerns.
The CYAN clinic, Pediatric Diabetes clinic, and Eating Disorder Program referrals are outside of the Central Intake process.
