Alternative Choice

As part of the drive to reduce elective waiting lists, NHS trusts including Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, are now proactively contacting patients who have been waiting over 40 weeks*, and do not have an appointment date within the next eight weeks, to consider their options to see if they could be seen sooner at a different hospital. (*some clinical exclusions apply). 

Eligible patients will be contacted directly by the Trust or independent sector provider they are currently under the care of. 

Please do not contact your GP practice or hospital proactively regarding this offer. Eligible patients will be provided with more information in regards to the process when they are invited to consider their options.

If you require support or have any queries, please do not contact us directly. Instead, please visit www.pidmas.nhs.uk or call the helpline on 0345 450 6166. Thank you.
