Tell us: have you had to wait for healthcare in the UK?

2 months ago 7

We’d like to find out about all the different ways people have had to wait when trying to access healthcare in the UK.

Perhaps you or a loved one have had trouble getting a GP appointment? You may have experienced delays in diagnoses and treatments, such as a cancelled operation or not received the mental health provision you need.

Have you had to wait hours in A&E, or for an ambulance, which was then stuck in a queue outside a hospital? Perhaps there were delays when trying to leave hospital because there was nowhere suitable to go or no follow on care to be found.
