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

I would like to be referred for oral surgery 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 Winchester

1. Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 14 to 45 weeks. 22.5 miles from Winchester. ODS code RNZ.
2. Isle of Wight NHS Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 14 to 52 weeks. 20.2 miles from Winchester. ODS code R1F.
3. University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust
   Most people treated in August 2026 waited 15 to 59 weeks. 8.4 miles from Winchester. ODS code RHM.

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.
