Local Health Services are Extremely Busy

The NHS is also seeing rising cases of COVID, winter vomiting bugs and respiratory (breathing) illnesses. To help prevent avoidable illness, protect vulnerable relatives and friends and ensure that vital NHS services are there for those who need them, local NHS leaders are calling on everyone in our area to follow this advice:

NHS e-Referral (Choose & Book) Tracking

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. It’s fast, convenient and secure.

  • The Manage Your Referral website is easy for patients to use. It allows them to book, check, change and cancel their appointments online
  • Patients can take control and book their own appointment on a convenient date and time and at their preferred hospital or Clinic if there is a choice
  • No more worried patients having to contact the Practice to find out what is happening with their appointment

You will normally receive a letter from us within 2 weeks giving details of how to book your appointment and any passwords you may need.

To track your e-Referral you will need the following details to log into the e-Referral website:

  • Your date of birth
  • Reference number – this will be on the first page of your letter
  • Password – this will be on the second page of your letter
