How long is the wait for a gallbladder removal at Bridgnorth Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which runs Bridgnorth Hospital, and it is the wait that applies to you here.
Updated June 2026 · (Referral to Treatment — the NHS wait-time framework)
This is how long half of patients wait for the whole General Surgery specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for gallbladder removal on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An ultrasound scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 4 weeks, with 32% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
