Checking our waiting lists

Posted: 19 October 2023

We are currently making sure our waiting lists are up to date. We have sent two text messages from ‘West Herts’ to find out if patients still need treatment (appointments or admissions).

Please be assured these are genuine text messages from West Herts Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

We will remove patients if they tell us they don’t want to proceed and will be in touch if we need any further information. All other patients will remain on our waiting lists.

If you are under the care of more than one specialty, please specify which waiting list you no longer wish to be on.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email our patient advice and liaison service (PALS) on westherts.pals@nhs.net or call 01923 217198.
