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 email referrals for NHS patients. Referrals can only be submitted online via the NHS e-Referral service.
For more information please contact our NHS team on 01905 362 220.
