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 or you may be placed on a waiting list.
If you have been asked to book an appointment, you will receive a letter from us in due course 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
