Electronic Referral System (ERS)

All referrals from GPs to Colorectal Surgery must go through ERS. We accept referrals for both the Churchill and Horton sites.

You can refer a patient via ERS on:

  • 2WW
  • an Urgent pathway
  • a Routine pathway

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

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