Referrals & Wait List

Referrals: have you been referred?

Have you been referred?

What happens next?

Your referral is sent to the hospital. It is reviewed by the specialists’ team and added to a waiting list. The hospital manages the waiting lists not your GP.

Waiting times

Due to COVID, hospital waiting times are now very long. This means you might wait much longer than usual for an NHS appointment.  

Supporting people on waitlists – My Planned Care public platform now live

We know that people waiting for elective care want to feel adequately informed and supported during this time. In response, and as part of the Elective Recovery Plan, we have recently launched the first phase of the My Planned Care Patient Digital Platform.

This site provides patients waiting for a hospital appointment, operation or treatment (excluding cancer) direct access to the latest wait-time information and support for all acute trusts across England. The platform is easy to access and navigate and is designed for patients who are on an NHS wait list, as well as their relatives, carers and supporting healthcare teams, including their primary care team.
