Electronic Referral System (e-RS)

The Electronic Referral System (e-RS), formally known as Choose and Book, is the preferred booking method for suspected cancer referrals. A national standard set by NHS England states that by October 2018, all first consultant-led appointments (including 2ww) should be booked via e-RS. The e-RS improves reliability and patient safety, which is consistent with good practice, as well as improving patient experience. If e-RS is not available then referrer should email the referral form to the provider using the directory at the top of each referral form.
