Referring to us

The information on this page is intended for health professionals wishing to refer patients to services at Sherwood Forest Hospitals.

New outpatient referrals

All of our consultant led outpatient clinics are listed on the e-Referral system (previously Choose and Book) making it simple for you to refer your patients to us.    
Advice and guidelines for all of our services can be found on the e-Referral system.

Cancer two week wait

All cancer two week wait referrals should follow the two week wait referral process and be made through the e-Referral system. Where there is no slot you should defer to provider. We can instantly see patients on our appointment slot issues work list and will contact the patients to make an appointment.

Direct access services

Some of our services are available for direct referral by a GP.  These services are all listed on the e-Referral system to ensure easy access.

Elective Access Policy

The Trust's Elective Access Policy (opens in new window) is for everyone involved in the management and administration of patient pathways.
