NHS e-Referral (formerly Choose and Book) Tracking
If a clinician has referred you to a specialist for further care, you will be asked to book your appointment using the ‘NHS e-Referral’ system.
You will receive a letter from us giving details of how to book your appointment and any passwords you may need. You may receive this letter via text message or post.
To track your e-Referral you will need the following details to log into the e-Referral website:
- Your date of birth
- Reference number – this will be on the first page of your letter
- Password – this will be on the second page of your letter.
Please contact us if you need another copy of your letter.
If you have been referred to Colchester or Ipswich Hospital, you can see the latest estimated wait times online.
My Planned Care gives you advice and support while you wait and helps you to prepare for your hospital consultation, treatment, or surgery. This includes giving you information about waiting times at your hospital and other supporting and local services while you wait. The information is updated weekly.
