Questions people ask
How long is the NHS waiting list for general internal medicine?
It depends on the hospital. In August 2026, at a typical hospital half of the people treated for general internal medicine had waited under 6 weeks. The shortest treated wait in England was at Alexandra and Worcestershire Royal, where half were treated within 1 weeks. The table above covers every provider with figures.
Is the general internal medicine waiting list getting shorter?
Every hospital page for general internal medicine on this site has a trend chart covering up to 24 months of NHS England figures, so you can see whether the wait at that hospital is rising or falling. National figures are updated about two months after each month ends.
What does general internal medicine cover?
General medicine: medical referrals that do not fit one specialty. NHS England collects waiting times by specialty, not by operation, so a knee replacement and a fracture clinic appointment sit in the same figure.
