What is required before referring a patient

Patients should be aware that King’s is smoke-free, which means smoking is not permitted anywhere on our site or grounds.

For routine appointments, patients do not need to make any preparations.

Booking a patient at King’s

GPs should refer via NHS e-referral (e-RS) wherever possible.
