The Professional Referral Letter is a crucial document in Belgian professional practice, used when a professional needs to refer a client or patient to another qualified specialist or service provider. This document type is essential in ensuring continuity of care and professional services while maintaining clear communication between practitioners. It must comply with Belgian privacy laws, including GDPR and the Belgian Privacy Act, and should be written in the appropriate official language based on the region (Dutch, French, or German). The Professional Referral Letter includes detailed client information, reason for referral, current assessment, and specific service requests, serving as both a formal introduction and a professional handover document. It's particularly important in healthcare and professional services sectors where coordinated care and service delivery are essential.
