Waiting Well

If you are on a waiting list for an appointment but haven’t heard from the hospital since your referral, please be assured that they will be in touch as soon as they are able to schedule your appointment.

The hospital specialty team that you have been referred to will be in touch from time to time to check if any of your symptoms have changed, and to check that you still wish to proceed with your appointment or procedure, the waiting lists are reviewed and re-prioritised on a regular basis so that the most urgent cases are dealt with as soon as possible.

If your condition deteriorates significantly at any point, then you may wish to get in touch with your GP for further advice.
