Our NHS waiting times

We know that many of our patients are in a lot of pain, so the sooner they can be seen by our consultants the better. Because we deal exclusively with scheduled care, and no emergency cases, not only are our waiting times short, but our patients are unaffected by NHS cancellations of surgeries.

Are you already on another hospital’s waiting list?

If you have had to wait more than 18 weeks for your treatment to start, you are entitled to switch hospitals. Find out how to switch waiting lists.

*This will be dependent on how long it takes for your consultant to agree your treatment plan, following your consultation and the results of any tests. Waiting times displayed are indicative and can change on a daily basis. Your waiting time for treatment may also depend on factors outside of our control, such as the time it takes for the NHS to approve its funding of your treatment.
