Information for GPs and Allied Health Professionals

A referral letter is always required for patients with private medical insurance before they can be seen by a consultant and prior authorisation is required.

Self-funding patients

If a patient is self-funding, they may not always require a referral. Both open referrals and specific consultant requests are accepted.

For secure and instant referrals please send your referral letters to SPIRE.STANHS@nhs.net using your NHS email account (including private patients).

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.

Referrals can be emailed to SPIRE.STANHS@nhs.net or submitted online via the NHS e-Referral service http://www.hscic.gov.uk/referrals/referrers. When sending an email, please make sure to state that the referral is NHS and provide a recent relevant medical history.

Please note, not all our services are available on the NHS, for more information contact our NHS team on 020 833 76691 ext 2262.
