Most of our referrals are sent electronically to the local hospitals via the Welsh Clinical Communication Gateway (WCCG).
Patients wishing to find out information about waiting times and appointments should contact the New Appointments Department at UHW 02921 848181.
There are sometimes lengthy waiting times for patients to be seen following referral by the GP. There are occasions where the wait is medically unacceptable, for example your condition may be deteriorating. The GP may ask the hospital to expedite your appointment. If you find the wait is too long we would ask that you contact the Practice Secretary and ask if the GP can expedite your referral. Please DO NOT make an appointment with the GP for this purpose.
