E-referrals

A large number of hospital appointments are now going to be booked electronically by a system called e-referrals. The doctor will make the referral to the appropriate hospital and the patient will then receive a letter with their details which will include their name, their NHS number, a booking reference number and a password. The patient can then book their appointment either online or over the phone at a time convenient to them. More details can be obtained by going to the NHS Choices website by clicking NHS choices appointment booking
