Referrals

Making a referral

We accept referrals from GPs and other hospitals (tertiary referrals).

How to submit a referral

e-RS referrals

All NHS GP referrals must be submitted using the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS). Referrals sent by email or post from NHS GPs will not be processed.

If your referral is urgent, please contact the on-call allergy consultant using e-RS advice and guidance.

Non-e-RS referrals

In line with NHS England's Digital First approach, we encourage all external non-e-RS referrals to be submitted digitally.

Digital referrals help reduce delays, improve traceability, minimise the risk of lost or incomplete information, and support safer patient care.

Please submit referrals by email to [email protected].

We will continue to accept paper referrals where necessary. However, referrers will be advised to use digital referral methods in future.

Tertiary referrals

NHS consultants at other hospitals can email referrals to us.

Urgent referrals

If your referral is urgent, please put 'urgent' on your referral form and email it to us. Please phone us to confirm we have received your referral. You can also bleep the specialist registrar on 2275.
