How long is the wait for an echocardiogram (heart scan) at St Michael's Hospital?
The NHS does not publish echocardiogram waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, which runs St Michael's Hospital, and it is the current echocardiogram queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.

Half of the people waiting for an echocardiogram (heart scan) at Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust have waited longer than 3 weeks. 18% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
