EeRS Update 11th March 2024
EeRS is a new electronic referral system that is looking to be introduced in the Coventry and Warwickshire area with a planned roll out date of May 2024. The implementation will be phased with a few optometry practices going live initially with this growing over several weeks.
EeRS is a web-based system which allows optometrists to electronically and reliably refer patients directly to secondary care with evidence that a referral has been made and sent. As it is a web-based system, practices will need a suitable internet connecting device with suitable internet connection.
As it goes live for local hospitals it will quickly become the best and expected way to refer our patients to ophthalmology.
Please see below two attached links with further information.
