If your patient is residing in the catchment area defined below you should mention DETECT in your referral letter, and some of the symptoms you are concerned about. This will fast-track the referral to us and we can usually start the assessment within 72 hours in a location that is convenient to the patient (e.g. their home, your surgery, the DETECT offices).
