Referral
Detect

- How do I refer someone?
- If your patient is residing in the catchment area defined below you should mention DETECT in your referral letter, and some of the symptoms you are concerned about. This will fast-track the referral to us and we can usually start the assessment within 72 hours in a location that is convenient to the patient (e.g. their home, your surgery, the DETECT offices).
- Catchment
  - Elm Mount/ Baggot Street Psychiatric Services.
  - Cluain Mhuire Community Mental Health Service.
  - Newcastle Mental Health Services.
  This catchment area essentially covers all of Dublin 2, Dublin 4, parts of Dublin 6 and 8, all of South East Dublin and North Wicklow (Community Care Areas 1, 2 and 10). DETECT also works in conjunction with the St John of God Hospital service.
