A nerve conduction test is one of the scans often used before treatment, and it is a separate NHS queue. Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust does not report its nerve conduction test waiting times to NHS England, so there is no scan wait to show for this hospital.

How we know this

NHS RTT data, August 2026.
Trauma and orthopaedics as a whole, not carpal tunnel surgery alone.
