Referring to Outpatient Department

OPD Referrals should be FAXED (01 678 5462) OR POSTED. Please do not give OPD referral letters to patients as they often inadvertently end up attending the A&E department.

If you have concerns regarding a patient you wish to refer or who is already attending the A&E department, please contact the Accident and Emergency G.P. Liaison Nurse who will provide you with a direct link to an A&E doctor if necessary.

The letter should be addressed to:

The Appointments Office
Outpatients Department
Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital
Adelaide Road
Dublin 2

Fax number: 01 678 5462

To aid in referral letter triage we have developed speciality specific referral letters. Using these or ensuring that the information contained in them is integrated into your own referral letter will help to ensure that letters are processed in a timely manner.
