Waiting Times

Please bear with us while you are waiting for confirmation of your appointment or operation. We’re doing all we can to ensure children and young people get the help they need as quickly as possible.

However, if you are concerned about your child’s health, please don’t hesitate to contact your care team directly. If your child is not yet a patient at Sheffield Children’s, please speak to your GP or referring service.

We have also put together advice on what to do while you are waiting for your appointment. Please take a look at them in our resource library.

How we are reducing waiting times

We’re working hard to reduce waiting times for you in a number of ways:

• Running extra theatres and clinics
• Maximising the use of theatres
• Providing extra support for children with the greatest needs and
• Freeing up space within clinics to offer more appointments
