Waiting list department

At your outpatient appointment, the clinician may decide that you need surgery or a procedure and will add you to an elective waiting list. 

Our elective waiting list team maintains the accuracy of waiting lists and plans patient activity to minimise waiting times. 

Once you have been added to a waiting list, we will send you an acknowledgement letter about your wait. You will be contacted again every 12 weeks, either by phone or by text message, until the surgery or procedure can be booked. 

Your surgery or procedure will be performed at the most appropriate hospital within our Trust. This could be York, Selby, Scarborough, Malton, or Bridlington.

Contact our waiting list teams

You may need to contact our waiting list teams to give us your unavailability (i.e. if you're going on holiday), to find out if you're on the waiting list, to let us know of any changes to your personal details (if you've moved house or changed phone numbers, for example), to le us know if you're unwell, or if you've been given a date for surgery you cannot make.
