Dr Shantir’s Practice

Referrals

If you have been referred to a hospital or clinic, you are able to book the appointment online.

  • You can book your own appointment, on a date and at a time that is convenient for you, you can also choose the hospital or clinic that you want to go to.
  • Once you have booked your appointment, you can check your details, change your appointment or cancel it if, it is no longer needed.
  • The service is fast convenient and secure

Booking your own referral appointment online helps save your us time and also saves the NHS money. When patients book their own appointment, hospitals have said that there are half as many missed appointments, booking online also saves the NHS on phone bills and sending letter out to you. We know that the service is not for everyone, therefore you will be able to ask your GP if you need any help.
