Enlarged prostate treatment NHS waiting times by trust

Enlarged prostate treatment is done by urology, where the typical NHS wait is about 11 weeks: half of patients wait less, half longer. It varies a lot by hospital.

This is the wait for the whole urology specialty, not enlarged prostate treatment on its own: the NHS doesn’t publish waits for single procedures.

109 NHS trusts, ranked by wait, from the admitted RTT pathway for July 2026. We show only acute trusts with a confident sample size, so a small-volume or community service can't distort the ranking. 5 trusts were set aside for too few patients to be reliable.

Larger trusts run several hospitals, sometimes miles apart. The NHS publishes one wait for the whole trust, not a separate figure per hospital, so the location shown is the trust's main registered site: your care could be at another of its hospitals.

About an enlarged prostate

An enlarged prostate is when the prostate gland, which sits below the bladder and surrounds the tube that carries urine out of the body, gets bigger.
