How long is the wait for a cystoscopy (bladder camera test) at The Royal Victoria Infirmary?
The NHS does not publish cystoscopy waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs The Royal Victoria Infirmary, and it is the current cystoscopy queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
Updated June 2026 · (the NHS diagnostics waiting-list return)
Half of the people waiting for a cystoscopy (bladder camera test) at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have waited longer than 4 weeks. 26% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
