300 hospitals with a published wait, plus 28 without. Each figure is how long half of patients wait for the whole Cardiology specialty at the trust that runs the hospital, from GP referral to the start of treatment: the NHS does not publish a wait for heart problems on its own. One hospital per trust for now; larger trusts run several.

How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?
Your free dashboard compares all four paths for heart problems: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
