Occupational therapy referral for professionals

This form is only for professionals.
If you're not a professional, use the Occupational Therapy referral for the public.

If you're a professional, you can use this form to refer adults who have a long term disability which directly affects their ability to manage at home.

Your referral will be rejected if:

• the person has had an acute period of ill health or is recovering from surgery. Contact the Community Therapy Team or Reablement on 0117 922 2700
• you're requesting a mobility assessment or rehabilitation for activities of daily living, such as cooking or dressing. Contact OT or Physiotherapy via the Community Therapy Team or call 0300 125 6789
• you're requesting a wheelchair assessment or repair. Contact the GP to request a referral to the Wheelchair Service Bristol Centre for Enablement or call 0300 300 0110

• you work for, or live in, a Housing Association and are requesting minor adaptations including Keysafes (under £1,000). We would expect the Housing Association to provide this, including the measuring up of these which can be provided by the Trusted Assessors in your organisation
