How long is the wait for a rotator cuff surgery at Kent & Canterbury Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Kent & Canterbury 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 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for rotator cuff surgery 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 East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 7 weeks, with 55% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
