Referral via Consultant Connect App

RefHelp - NHS Ayrshire and Arran
NHS Ayrshire and Arran
To login you should use your AD login (the same Ayrshire & Arran credentials you use to login to your PC or laptop)
Clinicians: when you first setup and login in to the App please ensure it shows the correct GP Practice for you. If you work across more than one GP Practice it should prompt you to choose which practice you are in. If there are any issues please let Digital Services know as soon as possible.  
Those with a clinical role:
  • Should use the app to capture and upload the images to the National Data Platform where they can then be attached to a SCI Gateway Referral.
  • Clinicians can also log into the web version of Consultant Connect to view any images captured by themselves.  

Those with an admin role:

  • Can login to the web version of Consultant Connect to view all images captured by those within the practice.  

Both admin and clinical roles have the ability to attach the images to a SCI Gateway referral.

There is no change to the referral process - this should continue to be via SCI Gateway. The image is attached using the attach button and choosing the new National Data Platform button you will then be presented with the images for that patient which you can select and attach.
