Information for Patients Following Referrals to Hospital

Our secretarial staff have had a very high number of calls recently asking for information regarding their referrals.   Unfortunately GP Surgeries in Herefordshire do not have access to Hereford Hospital's Appointments Systems.

We would therefore be grateful if you could telephone The Referral Management Centre on 01432 383100, as this is a dedicated line for patient queries.

If your query relates to a Radiology Referral, please call 01432 364014.
