Advantages Of Using Our Mental Health Referral Generator

Clinical details referrers actually need

A good mental health referral letter includes more than a name and a diagnosis. Heidi pulls from the full session details, then organizes it for the receiving clinician. Nothing that matters gets left out.

Every referral pathways for mental health, covered

GP to psychiatrist, counsellor to psychologist, and other referrals work differently. The tool formats each referral for its specific pathway, using the same session to create the right handover for where the patient is going next.

One session, every downstream document

Allied health referrals travel sideways as often as up. From physiotherapy to speech pathology, occupational therapy to podiatry: everyone back to the GP. Heidi adjusts the structure to suit the reader.

Consistent quality across your team

Referral letters written from memory at the end of a long day vary in quality. Heidi produces letters in the same consistency so it reads like it came from your best day. Get more mental space to talk more with your patient.

“I took a sigh of relief when I finished the day and all my notes were done and looking good. My supervision workflow is my favorite use case. She’s my work BFF; Heidi learns really well and doesn’t generally make the same mistake twice.”

Dr. Sarah Bellefontaine

Clinic Director at Four Wings Psychology
“ou can write a prompt at the bottom and say, 'Hey, can you please write a referral to the physiotherapist about this patient,' and it will actually rephrase the entire conversation or consult and formulate a referral for you.”

Dr. Gihan de Mel

MBBS(Syd), BBioMedSc(Melb), FRACGP Specialist GP/Family Physician at RACGP, Outcome Health
“People used to lose paper notes”

People used to lose paper notes. Now I email everything: exercises, guidance, referrals. They can access it from anywhere. I can give a more comprehensive recount of what happened during the consultation… without relying on my fading memory

Alison Rooney

Podiatrist at Hong Kong Foot Clinic
“Notes that used to take me 15 minutes now take less than five. It makes me feel safer that my patient information is kept separate. The formulation Heidi generates is sometimes even more detailed, including points I forgot about.”

Dr Siew Soon

Clinical Psychologist at Private Solo Practice
