Managing your referrals

If your GP refers you to a hospital or clinic, ask if you can book the appointment online. It's fast, convenient and secure.

Managing your referral online is easy. You can book your own appointment on a date and time that’s convenient for you. You may also be able to choose which hospital or clinic you go to. 

If you are referred, visit the NHS Website. You will need:

• your booking reference number, from your booking letter
• the password you received with your booking letter
• your year of birth.

If you have been referred, but don’t have your booking reference number or password, please contact the Practice. If you have any problems booking online, call the telephone number on your booking letter.

Once booked you can check the details, change your appointment or cancel it, if it is no longer needed.

Booking your own referral appointment also helps save your GP time and the NHS money.
