For referrals, advice and/ or signposting, telephone us on 01473 891733.
We recommend that for referrals from family / carers, the GP is contacted in the first instance. They will establish if there is physical cause for the presenting problem, consider treatment and refer to us, if appropriate.
Any professionals can refer to DISTE and acute hospital can refer to DISTE for support on discharge, if required.
We also work closely with REACT (Reactive Emergency Assessment Community Team). If you are under the care of REACT, or referred to them by other professionals, REACT may refer you on to DISTE, if appropriate.
