Clinical Haematology referrals

Electronic Referral System (ERS)

Previously known as 'Choose & Book'.

All referrals from GPs to Clinical Haematology must go through ERS. We accept referrals for both the Churchill and Horton sites. You can refer a patient via ERS on:

• a Two Week Wait (2WW) pathway
• an Urgent pathway
• a Routine pathway.

Clinical Haematology is not a directly bookable service. Please refer the patient via ERS using the information below.

The Haematology Team will triage the referral on receipt and book the patient in for the most appropriate clinic.

The exception to this is Oxford Haemophilia and Thrombosis Centre (OHTC).

Directly Bookable Service for OHTC

The GP surgery will generate an appointment referral request with appropriate priority (urgent or routine) for the service on e-Referral and UBRN in the usual way.

An electronic proforma or appropriate letter needs to be attached to the e-Referral system by the surgery within 48 hours for a Routine or Urgent appointment.

In the case that the Trust cannot provide an immediate appointment, 'Defer to Provider' can be selected and Trust processes will be in place to contact the patient within 48 hours for an urgent or routine appointment.
