New online portal launching in May for ASD and ADHD referrals

My Care Bridge is a new online portal, launching in May, for referring children and young people to ASD and ADHD services in mid and south Essex.

It is easy to use and secure, and has been created in collaboration with healthcare professionals and families

GPs, health visitors, and educational settings will be able to use My Care Bridge to make and track referrals, and provide additional information about the child or young person.

Families, children and young people will be able to track their referral, add information, and access a library of local support.

The portal will offer a better experience for families, children and young people. However, referrals will still be accepted through SystmOne.

The portal has been developed by the Mid and South Essex Community Collaborative, a partnership between Essex Partnership University Trust, North East London Foundation Trust and Provide Community Interest Company.

More information about My Care Bridge and how to use it to make a referral will be sent to healthcare professionals and educational settings soon.
