Rapid access clinic for Paediatric Dietitian referral for infants with Cow’s Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA) - UHP
Scope
UHP are providing a new ‘rapid access clinic’, which aims to see new referrals for suspected CMPA within 10 working days.
Please complete for infants under 12 months registered with GP practices in the Western locality (inc. Plymouth, South Hams and West Devon) only with suspected or confirmed non-IgE CMPA. We aim to see new referrals within 10 working days.
