HospitalWaits.co.uk — free NHS waiting-time checker. Compare how long the wait is at every NHS hospital for your treatment, using official NHS England figures, and learn about your legal right to choose where you're treated.
If you're waiting for an NHS appointment or operation, HospitalWaits.co.uk shows the current published waiting time at every NHS provider in England for your specialty — ranked by wait and distance from your postcode. It's free, has no ads or login, and every figure links to its official NHS England source. It also explains the NHS Right to Choose and generates a letter you can take to your GP if another hospital could see you sooner. Built by a medically trained data scientist; updated every month when the NHS publishes new figures.
