Referrals

Self referrals

There are a number of services locally that you are able to make self referrals to.

GP referrals

To request a GP referral:

Provide as much information as you can as this will help us to process your request.

If your referral request was to a local hospital you will need to contact them directly.

Tracking a referral

To track an existing referral:

NHS e-referral tracking

If your doctor has referred you to a specialist for further care you will be asked to book your appointment using the ‘NHS e-referral’ system.

You will receive a letter from us within 2 weeks giving details of how to book your appointment and any passwords you may need.

To track your e-referral you will need the following details to log into the e-referral website:

  • Your date of birth
  • Reference number – this will be on the first page of your letter
  • Password – this will be on the second page of your letter
