We’ve made a short video about Benfield House so you know what it will be like when you come for your appointment.

Benfield House - Walkergate Park Hospital
A visual guide
Going somewhere new can feel nerve-wracking.
This is a guide to Benfield House at Walkergate Park Hospital. It will tell you more about the building, so you know what it will be like when you come for your appointment.
This is the building from the outside. Make your way through the carpark and outside the building there will be a sign next to the entrance doors.
When you arrive, there are sliding doors that will take you inside to reception. There’s a buzzer to let our receptionist know that you’ve arrived for your appointment.
We’ll let the clinician know that you’re here. You may have to wait for a short period of time in the waiting room, where you’ll find a range of leaflets and posters.
We will then take you to one of our rooms to talk. Here is one of the rooms we may use.
Some of our rooms are upstairs but we have a lift that you can use. If you would prefer a room on the ground floor please let us know before your appointment.
We hope this has helped answer some of the questions you may have, or even put you at ease for when you arrive.
If you have any other questions, then please contact us.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
How can I get referred?
Referrals are reviewed weekly through a Single Point of Access (SPA) meeting, attended by Clinical Coordinators from multiple disciplines and chaired by CSPT’s Pathway Manager.
To ensure timely processing, please complete the referral form below with as much detail as possible. Please note we do not accept self-referrals, however the referral form can be completed jointly by client and health care professional.
Referrals must be submitted by Tuesday at 12 noon to be considered at that week’s SPA meeting, which takes place every Thursday. We aim to provide written communication following each meeting.
What to expect
- Multidisciplinary Review: Referrals are assessed by a team of professionals who may recommend different or additional support approaches.
- Joint Assessments: If another approach is suggested, the referred individual may need a joint assessment across multiple services. We advise informing them of this possibility in advance.
Next steps
- Accepted Referrals: Service users will be invited to opt in for an initial assessment to determine suitability for the recommended approach.
- Assessment Outcome: As the referring professional, you will receive a copy of the outcome. If the individual does not meet the service criteria, CSPT will notify you accordingly.
For a smooth process, please ensure all required information is provided in full and submitted before the deadline.
