How it works
A clear path through the NHS waiting list
We turn the NHS 18-week Referral to Treatment (RTT) rules into a simple check anyone can use, then give you the practical guidance you need to act on the result.
Step 01
The free Wait Check
Enter your referral date. We calculate the days you've waited and compare against the 18-week standard. The result is instant, anonymous, and free.
Step 02
Your status, in plain English
We tell you whether you're within, approaching, or past the 18-week standard, and what each of those means for the choices available to you.
Step 03
The personalised Wait Assessment Report
Optional paid add-on. A PDF report covering your rights under the NHS Constitution, patient choice, how to escalate via PALS, and questions to ask your hospital — written for patients, not clinicians.
