NHS referrals
Referrals for NHS patients can be sent through the online NHS 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.
Please note, not all our services are available on the NHS. For more information contact our NHS team on 0121 580 7151 or email spire.NHSteam.littleaston@nhs.net.
