Patient Helpdesk – update and notice of service closure

The Patient Helpdesk will continue to be available until 31 March 2022 to support patients who are waiting to hear about their hospital or community appointments. Patients can contact the freephone helpdesk Monday to Friday, from 9am – 5pm on 0800 048 5800

From April 2022, patients are encouraged to use the new My Planned Care NHS  platform that is available online and will provide direct access to the latest average wait time for appointments and operations for local hospitals, as well as helpful advice and support for patients whilst they wait.

My Planned Care NHS is updated weekly, is easy-to-use and has ‘open access’ which enables carers, friends, relatives to also access information on someone else’s behalf.

Alternatively, patients who have already been in correspondence with hospitals regarding their planned care can also contact the relevant department or service. Details of which can be found on previous letters patients will have received or by contacting the hospital’s Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS).
