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 is an efficient system.
Please note, not all our services are available on the NHS. For more information contact our NHS team on 0121 704 5527.
