Hospital Appointments and Referrals

Helpful information and guidance for patients waiting for a hospital consultation, treatment or surgery.

It is always faster for you to contact the hospital directly to find out more about waiting times for appointments.

  • We do not have access to any additional information.
  • We are unable to affect any aspect of hospital waiting lists.
  • We have no access to see information about individual patients.

If you have been waiting for more than 40 weeks, you may be contacted by NHS Patient Initiated Digital Mutual Aid System (PIDMAS) to see if there may be an alternative choice of hospital available.

My Planned Care

Millions of patients on the waiting list for NHS care will be able to access support and check wait times at their fingertips thanks to a new online platform called My Planned Care.

The platform will allow patients and their carers to access information ahead of their planned appointment, operation or treatment through the touch of a button.
