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.

We only accept new GP referrals from:

  • Lambeth
  • Southwark
  • Lewisham
  • Bromley
  • Bexley
  • Greenwich, including practices in Battersea and south Westminster

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].

Tertiary referrals

Tertiary referrals must be made by email.

We accept tertiary referrals from all areas.

First seizure clinic

This clinic accepts referrals from GPs and from emergency departments (A&E).
