To take to my GP appointment. From checkwaitingtimes.co.uk, data covers waits up to August 2026.

I would like to be referred for cardiology to the hospital with the shortest wait.

Under the NHS Constitution, when my GP refers me for a first outpatient appointment I have the right to choose which provider I go to in England, including independent hospitals that hold an NHS contract. I would like to use that right.

The three shortest waits within 25 miles of Camden

1. Nuffield Health the Holly Hospital (independent hospital, free on the NHS)
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 4 to 6 weeks. 9.8 miles from Camden. ODS code H4I8B.
2. Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 7 to 25 weeks. 21.2 miles from Camden. ODS code RTP.
3. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 8 to 27 weeks. 3.5 miles from Camden. ODS code RQM.

What I would like to ask

• Please refer me to my first choice above through the NHS e-Referral Service, or tell me which of the three you can refer to.
• If none of these is suitable, please tell me why and which provider has the shortest wait that is suitable.
• Please let me know my referral date, so I can track my wait.
