Embed NHS waiting times on your site

Why embed

• Add a live, trustworthy NHS data point to a story or campaign page without writing code.
• Always shows the latest NHS England RTT release — we refresh monthly so your embed stays current.
• Each widget carries a visible NHS source line and a back-link to the canonical page for full methodology.
• Iframe is sandbox-friendly: no third-party scripts run on your page, just a snapshot of NHS-published data.

Licence & attribution

The data is published by NHS England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. The widgets are free for any use — personal, editorial, non-profit, or commercial.

Attribution is required: every widget already carries a “Source: NHS England RTT · via HospitalWaits.co.uk” line and a back-link, so by embedding the iframe you’ve satisfied the requirement automatically.

Embedded our widget?

We’d love to hear where the data ended up. Drop us a note at mustafa@doctor-data.co.uk with a link, and we’ll add you to a published public list of embedders (if you’re happy to be listed) and prioritise feature requests from active embedders.

What the widgets do not do

• No personal data: widgets never receive any user identifier from the parent page.
• No clinical advice: the numbers describe NHS published waiting times, not individual prognosis.
• No mid-month updates: the embed reflects the most recent monthly NHS England RTT release.
