Patient to Book an appointment using the NHS e-Referral Service

If the GP practice does not book the appointment on behalf of the patient, they are still required to refer the patient through the system and select a choice of different, available provider options for the patient to choose from

This process will generate a form containing a unique Booking Reference Number (UBRN) and a password/PIN. The referrer must then provide these details to the patient to enable them to book their appointment via the NHS e-Referral Service – Book an appointment using the NHS e-Referral Service – NHS

The patient will need both the UBRN and the password or PIN to access the service.  Through the NHS e-Referral Service, the patient can book, view, change, or cancel their appointment
