e-Referral Service
Find out more about the e-Referral Service
The NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) combines electronic booking with a choice of place, date and time for first hospital or clinic appointments. Patients can choose their initial hospital or clinic appointment, book it in the GP surgery at the point of referral, or later at home on the phone or online.
Referrals
Most medical problems are managed in GP surgeries. However, there are many local pathways and services in Islington your doctor may recommend or refer you to. Some services allow you to refer yourself. For most service the doctor will agree to refer you. To refer to many services, including local hospitals we use E-referrals.
This NHS leaflet explains what you can expect to happen if you are referred by your GP to see a specialist or consultant.
