Choose and Book
All patients needing a referral to
secondary care are now allowed to choose from several options about where they
are referred. When your doctor refers you, you will receive information about
possible hospitals or clinics that are suitable, both in the local area and
outside the area. Once you have chosen your hospital you will have the
information to book your own appointment either by phone or on the internet.
Please note that some specialities are not eligible for a choice of provider.
For more information please visit the
NHS Choose and Book
website.
