Oaklands Hospital works in partnership with the NHS, under the Choose and Book e-RS system which allows GPs to refer to a hospital of their choice, providing the service is offered at the hospital.

The system is quick and easy to use and patients will have a consultation and surgery carried out if necessary, within 18 weeks.
