Under the NHS Constitution, patients have the right to receive timely treatment. This means that you have been referred for consultant-led treatment, you should start your treatment within a maximum of 18 weeks, or if your GP has made an urgent referral where cancer is suspected, you should be seen by a specialist within two weeks.
If this is not possible, or you are concerned that you are waiting for longer, you should contact our Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS).
We use smart phones and tablets as part of your care to record important information about your health, your treatment and for when you leave hospital. Ask a member of the team providing your care if you would like more information.
