How to chase a hospital appointment or referral

Sometimes you may get referred for an appointment with a service based at one of our local hospitals or private providers. This is called being referred and is usually done through an electronic system called the NHS E-Referral service (previously called Choose and Book).

If you have been referred to another service it is important that contact that service if you have any questions.
