Referral
Referring your patients for treatment at the ROH is easy.
All referrals from primary care should be sent via ERS. You can send an electronic referral by finding the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital (ROH) on the list. Once we receive your referral, it will be triaged by our specialist team and added to the waiting list for the relevant department.
- All referrals from Primary Care should be sent via ERS
- Routine tertiary referrals sent by email must be sent using secure NHS.net accounts. Sending via a non/NHS.net account is not encrypted.
- Please see below on intructions for urgent referrals and Tertiary Oncology referrals.
The ROH is a specialist hospital, and we regularly see patients for both complex and routine treatment.
Even if you have a local provider for routine orthopaedics, you are able to refer to the ROH for treatment, and benefit from world class surgeons that are specialists in their field.
