Can I check where I am on the waiting list?

How do I get seen sooner than the UCLH (University College) wait time?
When your GP refers you, you can choose any hospital in England that holds an NHS contract, including independent hospitals the NHS pays for. If you have already waited over 18 weeks with no date in the next 8 weeks, you can ask to move. Compare every hospital near you first. Hospital waiting times near Camden.
