How it works
From invitation to referral allocation
PsychReferral is designed to make the purpose of the platform obvious: verified clinicians can join by invitation, share anonymised referrals, review colleague interest, and continue professional conversation in a moderated network.
In brief
Membership begins with an invitation code from an existing member of the network.
Once verified, members can access the referral feed and discussion spaces, respond to suitable referrals, and keep conversation inside the platform.
The public pages explain the process, while the member workflow stays behind account access.
Join by invitation
New members register with an invitation code from an existing member of the network.
PsychReferral is not an open directory. Invitation-only access helps keep the community professional, relevant, and easier to verify.
Complete verification
Each account is checked before the member can access referrals and discussions.
Verification is designed to ensure that the platform remains limited to verified UK psychologists and that professional standards are upheld.
Share anonymised referrals
Members post anonymised referral summaries so colleagues can review suitability.
Referral posts are for professional triage and allocation. Patient-identifiable information should not be posted in the network.
Receive interest and allocate
Suitable clinicians can respond, after which the referrer can review interest and allocate the referral.
The platform keeps the process structured so members can move from referral sharing to allocation with more clarity than informal group chats.
Use the discussion spaces
Verified members can also take part in moderated professional discussions.
Discussion spaces are for peer conversation, practical questions, and professional exchange within the network, not for public advice.
Anonymised referral sharing
Referral summaries are intended to stay anonymised so clinicians can review suitability without exposing patient-identifiable details.
Verification before access
The member area is not opened until verification is complete, helping the network stay professional and UK-focused.
Moderated member discussion
Discussion spaces are designed for professional exchange between verified members and are not public-facing forums.
