Getting Started

For those providers and GP Practices who are planning to commence using Choose and Book for the first time, this section contains practical and technical information to get you started.

Choose and Book was first introduced in 2004 and is now considered a “Business as Usual” application.  There are however some trusts who still have some work to do:

  • Many primary care providers still need to build and load their Directory of Services
  • Independent sector providers also need to build and publish their services

Further information

Detailed information for service providers, referrers and technical deployment is available.

Links and Guides

A range of guides and tools are available providing you with the necessary information to help set up and make Choose and Book the everyday method of referral.  These are found in the communications section of this website.
