Consultations within two weeks of booking, month by month
Whether it is getting better or worse appears once there is a full year to compare.

The scale starts at 70%, not 0, so that changes can be seen. They look bigger than they would on a full scale.
Every appointment, including clinics and reviews
- 29% same day (England 45%)
- 78% within two weeks (England 82%)
- 11% over four weeks (England 6%)
Many of these are booked ahead on purpose, such as vaccination clinics and medication reviews, so a longer gap is not always a wait.
The clock starts when the booking is made, so time spent trying to get through is not included. Each surgery chooses how to label its own appointments, which affects comparisons between surgeries.
August 2026
How long callers waited before their call was answered. 2,966 calls answered.
Calls that never got through
- 9,536 calls came in
- 24% ended during the recorded message, before joining the queue (England 25%)
- 21% asked for a call back instead of waiting (England 7%)
The answered-call figures count only calls that were answered. A call can end in the queue because the caller gave up, was cut off or got through another way. A call that ends during the recorded message may have been dealt with by the message itself, for example opening hours.
No waits logged yet
Figures appear here once 10 people have logged a wait in the last 90 days. Official figures start the clock when a booking is made. Ours starts the first time you pick up the phone.
Sat waiting right now?
Tap "I'm here" when you sit down and stop the timer when you're called in. Figures appear once 10 visits have been timed. Nobody publishes how long patients sit in the waiting room.
How long did your prescription take?
Log how long it took from asking for it to having your medicine. Figures appear once 10 people have logged one. We never ask which medicine, or what it is for.
Ringing the surgery
Nobody has timed a call here yet, or too few to show. The NHS counts the calls a surgery answers; this counts what callers go through: redials, cut-offs and the wait in the queue.
Tap when you get into the queue, if you're cut off, and when you're answered. One question at the end: did you get what you rang for?
