Tell us: have you had to wait for healthcare in the UK?

We’d like to find out about all the different ways people have had to wait when trying to access healthcare in the UK.

Perhaps you or a loved one have had trouble getting a GP appointment? You may have experienced delays in diagnoses and treatments, such as a cancelled operation or not received the mental health provision you need.

Have you had to wait hours in A&E, or for an ambulance, which was then stuck in a queue outside a hospital? Perhaps there were delays when trying to leave hospital because there was nowhere suitable to go or no follow on care to be found.
