How to make an individual funding request
We don’t accept IFR applications directly from patients. Applications can only be made by the clinician responsible for your care – usually your secondary care (hospital) clinician.
You can work with your hospital clinician to make an application if they believe you may be eligible. To make an application your clinician should use our IFR application portal.
If you’re a GP and wish to make an IFR application please contact us first, providing details of the application, including the basis for clinical exceptionality as outlined in section 5 of our IFR policy. We will respond with advice on the next steps.
Once your application is made we will keep in contact with your clinician and let them know how things are progressing.
