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.
New patients can be referred to us from our:
- sleep medicine service
- respiratory medicine service
- ear, nose and throat (ENT) service
Patients who have already been seen at the sleep medicine clinic and need a repeat device should be referred by their GP.
See our sleep disorder referrals page for more information.
Referral criteria
We accept referrals if the patient has:
- visited their dentist for a full check up within the last 6 months before their appointment
- been deemed dentally fit
- no outstanding dental treatment
- a sufficient number of teeth
