If you have been referred by your GP to see a specialist, you can now track where you are on the NHS waiting list through the NHS Wales App. This is a recent addition to the App and only applies to patients referred from December 2025 onwards.
Registering for the NHS Wales App is easy and you can also request your repeat medications through it. Please visit https://app.nhs.wales/login to sign up

People in Wales can now track their NHS waiting list progress on the NHS Wales app🙌

The latest update lets people check their waiting list status, view hospital referrals and appointment details, and access information to help manage their health while waiting for treatment.

More than 650,000 people have already registered to use the bilingual app. The app aims to improve access to healthcare services for people registered with a GP in Wales and is a key part of the Welsh Government’s digital transformation strategy for healthcare.

**November December Activity Data**
Demand is extremely high in the practice and the high number of patients not turning up for their appointments means we can't offer these to other people in need. Please remember that a lot of common ailments can be treated at your local pharmacy for free including scabies, cold sores, sore throats and urine infections (females under 65 years). Please ask to be seen under the Common Ailments Scheme.
