To obtain an appointment
Patients are referred by their GP. Waiting lists have grown since the Covid pandemic and unfortunately patients may have to wait a long time to see a consultant. The trust is working to reduce waiting times. Referrals are assessed and are prioritised as clinically indicated.
Two-week wait appointment (2WW)
Patients with symptoms which could be cancer are referred on a two-week wait pathway (2WW). If you have been referred on the two-week pathway it is important you attend the appointment or contact us as soon as possible to rearrange it.
