Hospital Appointment and Referral Information

The COVID-19 pandemic has added to the strain on all NHS services. As a result of this, waiting list times for outpatient and specialist appointments and procedures have increased for everybody. 

As we do not directly manage the wait times for the hospitals we ask that you please look at My Planned Care, for the current wait times within your region. 
https://www.myplannedcare.nhs.uk

We appreciate that these long waits can cause worry and uncertainty about when you will eventually receive an appointment.  The practice has no direct access to the hospital appointment lists.  

My Planned Care gives you advice and support while you wait and helps you to prepare for your hospital consultation, treatment, or surgery. This includes giving you information about waiting times at your hospital and other supporting and local services while you wait.

This site is updated weekly and can be viewed by anyone, which means you, your family or carer as well as your NHS team can all see the latest information.
Your hospital team will be in touch with you as soon as they can. If you are looking for an update, please check this website before contacting your hospital.
 

Only call the practice if your condition has genuinely deteriorated, when you will be reviewed by one of the clinical team and appropriate action can be taken in regard to your care.

Ely Primary Care Network is a group of six of the eight GP Practices in East Cambridgeshire. Together we look after 77,500 patients. The six Practices are:

• Burwell Surgery (Burwell)
• Haddenham Surgery (Haddenham)
• Staploe Medical Centre (Soham)
• Cathedral Medical Centre (Ely)
• St George’s Medical Centre (Littleport)
• St Mary’s Surgery (Ely)

The NHS has asked all Primary Care Networks (PCNs) across England to offer patients additional opening hours. This is a national programme called “Enhanced Access” and starts on 1^st October 2022.

We want to give our patients the very best GP services we can, and we believe offering these additional hours ourselves - using the doctors and nurses you already know from your local surgeries - is the best way to do this.

So, from 1^st October 2022, the six Practices of Ely Primary Care Network will work together to - between them - offer 70 more hours of appointments each week, over and above our usual surgery opening hours. These additional appointments will be available to all patients registered at any of our six surgeries.

The additional appointments will be during the following times:
