NHS referrals
Referrals for NHS patients can be sent through the online e-referral service (formerly choose and book) by visiting www.ebs.ncrs.nhs.uk. This is the best practice for us to receive NHS referrals, as patients will receive appointments in a timely manner and it is an efficient system.
We no longer accept referrals for NHS patients by any other means (eg fax or email). Referrals can only be submitted online via the NHS e-Referral service.
