HospitalChoice: Waiting Times

See whether another suitable hospital may have a shorter published wait, then discuss your options with your GP or referrer. Choose a specialty, enter a postcode and compare either first-appointment or treatment waits. See providers near you ranked using the selected measure, understand how far away they are and save useful options for a conversation with your GP. WHY HOSPITALCHOICE • Compare NHS trusts and independent providers offering NHS-funded care • Keep first-appointment and treatment figures clearly separated • See publication dates and monthly waiting-list context • See available CQC overall ratings with their scope and publication date • Inspect data freshness, sources and missing-information explanations • Save and share a shortlist for discussion with your GP or referrer • Keep saved providers privately on your device • Read practical guidance about discussing provider choice with your GP IMPORTANT HospitalChoice is an independent project. It is not an NHS service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NHS. Published waiting times describe groups of patients and are estimates, not appointment offers or guarantees. Clinical suitability and current referral availability must be confirmed through your GP or the NHS e-Referral Service.
