When making an emergency referral to hospitals it is best practice to discuss the patient with the on-call specialist in advance of referral.  This has traditionally been difficult due to problems with switchboards and getting in contact with the specialist.  To facilitate this, we have asked for, and now been provided with, a list of contact details for hospitals in and around Lincolnshire which practices can use when making referrals.
