For Clinicians Referral guidance and secure access

For clinicians

Referral guidance for clinicians considering the practice.

This page is intended to help clinicians decide whether Synapse Diagnostics may be an appropriate setting for specialist assessment or coordinated review.

  • Referral fit guidance
  • Professional access
  • Protected routes available

Professional overview

A specialist setting for complex diagnostic questions.

The practice may be helpful when the main question is diagnostic clarification, especially where symptoms or concerns overlap across several domains.

When to consider referral

Consider the practice when one specialist assessment may help, or when a broader coordinated view is likely to be more useful.

What clinicians will find here

Broad service information, fit guidance, and a clear route toward contact or login.

Clinician reviewing referral information and patient notes at a desk.

Referral fit guidance

Use first-pass fit guidance before making contact.

The aim is to support early route selection rather than replace clinician judgment or urgent care pathways.

May be relevant

  • Questions involving neurological, psychiatric, cognitive, or functional overlap
  • Cases where diagnosis remains unclear after initial assessment
  • Presentations that may benefit from coordinated specialist review

May need another route first

  • Emergency or urgent situations requiring acute pathways
  • Cases needing immediate operational action rather than specialist clarification
  • Situations outside the likely remit of the practice

Professional pathway

Move from fit guidance to the right access route.

Once the practice appears relevant, continue through contact or login depending on the level of detail and access required.

Before contact or login

What to prepare first.

A short first-pass summary usually makes it easier to determine whether contact or protected access is the better next route.

Important note

This page offers fit and access guidance only. It is not an emergency, acute, or crisis pathway.
