Referral methods: e-RS

Refer via e-RS

General hepatology clinics have transferred to Clinical Assessment Service (CAS), which allows patients to have diagnostic test prior to being seen by the medical team.

You can still refer patients into the hepatology service, but will not be able to book an appointment. Appointments will be booked by the trust according to clinical need and date of referral.

If your patient needs an urgent referral, please submit an advice and guidance request, via e-RS. This will be reviewed and a response sent back within 72 hours.

For Liver service enquiries and GP referrals

Routine via e-RS

Urgent (non-2WW), submit an advice and guidance request via e-RS, this will be reviewed and a response sent back within 72 hours.

For urgent cancer referrals, see the 2WW page.

Most patients will be seen within six weeks of referral. For urgent referrals, please telephone or fax the consultant's secretary. The out-patient appointment centre manages enquiries from patients.
