Referrals

How to submit a referral

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.

Making a referral

The dental services referral page has information about how to refer to our service.

We don't accept referrals from GPs or general dental practitioners for radiography.

Cone beam CT scans

For cone beam CT scans, we accept referrals from outside Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust where there is an agreement in place. Please complete the referral form. 

Salivary gland disease

For salivary gland disease, please contact the salivary gland service.

Temporomandibular joint disorder examinations

For temporomandibular joint disorder examinations, please contact the oral surgery service.
