Overview
Once we receive a referral for a patient, we will send out a letter offering a choice between Face-to-Face sessions or the MyDesmond program. Patients will currently be added to a waiting list if they opt for the Face-to-Face option, but MyDesmond access can be granted straight away upon request.
