Waiting List Support

Overview

Information to help patients who are on waiting lists and may have been lost in the process.


Check If They’re on the Waiting List

You can check the referrals tab on SystmOne to see if there is an outgoing referral for the patient.

Patient Chase Number

If there is an outgoing referral and the patient hasn’t heard, you can give them this number to chase up their appointment:

01942 264910


Support While Waiting

TIP

Additional Resources

If a patient needs more support while they are on a waiting list, you can signpost them to:

https://whileyouwait.org.uk/

This helps patients see other organisations/teams that might be able to help them in the interim.


Office Etiquette

Please Note

Please don’t ask the secretaries to chase up a referral to see if it is in progress unless a patient/family member isn’t able to do this as it generates a lot of extra work.
