New patient referrals
If you have access to Choose and Book, please refer your patients via this method. University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust (UHB) continually monitors and updates the directory of services to accurately reflect clinics/services available.
UHB runs many specialist, rather than general, clinics, e.g. cataract and glaucoma clinics, as opposed to a general ophthalmology clinic. You can use the SNOMED CT search facility on Choose and Book and typing in, for example, "cataract", a list of associated clinical terms will be displayed. If you select the chosen term the correct service will be made available to offer as a choice to your patient.
Do not use Choose and Book for cancer two-week wait referrals - please see the referral forms page.
If you are not using Choose and Book, please check our referral forms page. If there is a form available for the type of referral you wish to make, please use this.
If you are not currently using Choose and Book, and there is no relevant referral form available, please use your existing method of referral. Send a typed referral letter to:
