Waiting times

The nurse who assesses you after registration will explain the procedure to you and give you an estimated waiting time. How long you will have to wait will depend on the number of patients attending at the time and the complexity of their problems. Priority is obviously given to those people who need immediate attention, and this can affect the waiting time for people with less urgent problems.

Please ask any nursing staff if you are unsure of the waiting time.
