This service is for healthcare professionals who want to refer a patient to the Sarcoma UK Support Line.
If you are a patient, family member, friend or carer, you do not need to use this service. You can contact the Support Line directly.
Healthcare professionals can refer people affected by sarcoma directly to our Support Line.
Before making a referral, please make sure that the person has agreed to be contacted by Sarcoma UK.
Email your referral to supportline@sarcoma.org.uk, including:
- The person’s full name and preferred name, if different
- Confirmation that they have consented to the referral
- Their primary phone number
- A secondary phone number and email address, if available
- Whether this is a first referral or re-referral
- Their current stage in the care pathway:
- New diagnosis
- In treatment
- Finished treatment and in follow-up
- Completed follow-up and discharged
- Palliative care or no further treatment
- Any other information that may help our Support Line team when contacting them
- Whether you would like us to contact them sooner or later than our usual timeframe
Our Support Line team will usually make contact within 7 to 14 days of receiving the referral.
This poster, developed with the Swansea Sarcoma Nurse Team, shows how the service is used in clinical settings, the simple referral process, and the positive impact it has had on people affected by sarcoma.
