How long is the wait for a sciatica at King Edward Vii Hospital?
Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust publishes an orthopaedic waiting time, but the mix of operations behind it is too different from a hip or knee replacement for the comparison to be fair. Showing it here would mislead you rather than help.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An MRI scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust the typical MRI wait is 3 weeks, with 23% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
