Referring or discussing a respiratory failure patient
If you would like to discuss and/or refer your patient with advanced respiratory failure for review with the lung transplant team at Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, then please use the online 'Refer a Patient' referral system. This online system is available during weekday hours 08:00 - 18:00.
The online form will need to be completed in order for us to accept the referral.
Please do not use this form to discuss existing lung and heart-lung transplant recipients.
If the referral is an emergency or outside of these hours, or if you wish to discuss in more detail before submitting your form, please contact the on-call lung transplant consultant via our hospital switchboard on 01223 638000.
If you have not had a response to your online referral within one working day, please contact the on-call lung transplant consultant via our switchboard.
Supplemental information can also be sent directly to the team at:
Department of Advanced Respiratory Failure and Transplantation
Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Papworth Road
Cambridge Biomedical Campus
Cambridge
CB2 0AY
We will then arrange to meet the patient either in clinic or schedule a full assessment.
This will involve a range of planned tests followed by a multidisciplinary discussion to generate an individualised treatment plan.
