From 12 April 2024, all health and care staff who access e-RS using the legacy URL (https://nww.ebs.ncrs.nhs.uk) will be directed to a new page that will require them to select an option to access e-RS on the new URL (https://ers.nhs.uk).

Please update and replace any instances of the legacy URL with the new URL in favourites and shortcuts, in line with the online guidance.

The system itself is not changing, simply the URL link used to access it.

As part of the newly published GP contract, we are asking all GP practices in England to begin using the Register with a GP surgery service from October 2024. The service is free to use and consists of an online registration service and a new paper form.

The Register with a GP surgery service is easy for patients to use, and more than 1 million patients have now used the digital service to find and submit a registration to a local GP.

Learn more about the benefits of the service and how to sign up.
