Healthcare professionals: referring a patient

Referral form

An optional form to send us the essentials; your usual referral letter works just as well.

French version reviewed by Dr Pierre Fournier

This form can be used to refer a patient to the Centre de l’Obésité et du Métabolisme de la Côte. A standard referral letter is also acceptable. Fill in the information available and attach any relevant documents. A report is sent to you after the consultation.
