Referrals

Self referrals

There are a number of services locally that you are able to make self referrals to.

GP referrals

To request a GP referral:

Provide as much information as you can as this will help us to process your request.

Specialist and hospital care

If a GP or another member of our healthcare team believes that you need hospital treatment or specialist care elsewhere, they will discuss this with you and arrange the referral via the NHS e-Referral system. Once the referral has been requested we will then write to you enclosing instructions on how you can book the appointment with the hospital or specialist.

Tracking a referral

To track an existing referral:

NHS e-Referral

If your doctor has referred you to a specialist for further care you will be asked to book your appointment using the ‘NHS e-Referral’ system. Once the referral has been requested we will then write to you enclosing instructions on how you can book the appointment with the hospital or specialist.

You will receive a letter from us within 2 weeks.
