Hospital ‘expedite letter’

Only the hospital can compare your needs with those of other patients on their waiting list and they will action your request accordingly.

If you want to inform a hospital of a change in your symptoms, you may use the template shown here when contacting the hospital. (Click and drag over the text in the panel on the right, copy and paste into your document, then add your personal details).

You should post your letter to either Outpatient Appointments (for first letter appointments) or your consultant’s secretary (for follow-up care).
