For referrers

We are exploring options for ADHD assessments and hope to be able to assist with these in the near future – if you require an ADHD assessment, please get in touch and we will put you on our notification list.

Dr Foote regrets that a reduction in his availability means he cannot accept any clients (private or ACC) for ongoing treatment. He remains available for ACC and VA assessments.

We gladly welcome referrals from health professionals – general practitioners, other medical specialists, midwives, psychologists, and counsellors of all disciplines.

To make a referral, please compose a brief referral note with as much background as possible (e.g. blood test results, medications etc).

We accept referrals by email on referrals@northlandpsychiatry.co.nz (we can accept encrypted zip files), or by fax to 09 55 33 250. It’s also completely satisfactory to provide a letter to your patient if they wish to make the first contact themselves – in fact, this may be the easiest way to refer to Northland Psychiatry.

Commonly requested information
We see anyone aged 17 or older.
A summary letter will be sent to the patient and to the referrer, unless the patient opts out of this.
