E-referral service

The NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) combines electronic booking with a choice of place, date and time for first hospital or clinic appointments. Patients can choose their initial hospital or clinic appointment, book it in the GP surgery at the point of referral, or later at home on the phone or online.

Using the service

If you've been referred to a specialist through the NHS e-Referral Service, booking your appointment online is easy, safe and secure - find out more on the NHS website.

Whether you're using e-RS for the first time, or an existing user wanting to make the most of the service more information is available at the NHS e-referral website.
