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].
Making a referral
Please complete the extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) referral form and email it to us. Please state if your referral is for outreach or in-house ECP.
Please make sure your patient has suitable peripheral access or we may need to insert a Hickman line.
If your patient's blood results show that they're not within a treatable range then they'll need a top-up of blood at their hospital before they receive ECP from us. Please make sure they're aware of this.
Emergency referrals
We provide an emergency outreach service for patients staying at:
- The Royal Marsden
- King's College Hospital
Please email the ECP referral form to us and we'll aim to treat your patient within 48 hours of receiving it.
