Stopwaiting alleviates Anxious Helplessness
After being told by a local hospital that I could expect another 50 weeks waiting time for an appointment it was on my brother ‘s urgent advice that I contacted Stopwaitng. The morning following my enquiry I received a reply with the advice from Stopwaiting as to how to proceed and information of six private hospitals I could choose from! My GP agreed with astonished alacrity to the proposal and within 3 weeks I received my treatment. I was prepared to travel for my treatment but experienced such care and efficiency that I was extremely grateful to both the hospital I visited and Stopwaiting who had enabled this procedure.
I would like to add that my doctor’s surgery took note of the information about Stopwaiting to advise other patients caught in the current chaos of NHS waiting times.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience — we really appreciate you taking the time to write this.
Being told you may have to wait many more months for an appointment can leave people feeling understandably anxious and stuck, so we’re very glad we were able to help you find a way forward so quickly. It’s great to hear that your GP was so supportive and that you were able to receive treatment within just a few weeks, with such a positive experience at the hospital.
What you’ve highlighted about awareness is particularly important. Even now, it still surprises us how many people — including some GP practices — aren’t fully aware of how to access NHS-funded treatment through alternative hospitals under the Patient Choice system. As your experience shows, once the information is there, things can move very quickly.
It’s especially encouraging to hear that your surgery has taken note and may now be able to support other patients in a similar situation.
Thank you again for your kind words, and we wish you a smooth and continued recovery.
Warm regards,
The StopWaiting Team
Stop Waiting delivered what it…
Stop Waiting delivered what it promised. I hadn’t appreciated that fact the NHS is committed to reducing surgery waiting times and in numerous areas this just isn’t practical due to limited bed space. I came across Stop Waiting who provided a list of alternative hospitals (small fee) where the waiting times were considerably shorter. In my case I was prepared to
travel and my hip replacement surgery was completed within three months against over twenty months in my local area.
I can’t thank them enough for providing the service and guidance and i am
more than happy to recommend their service.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.
Genuinely— not just because it means a lot to our team, but because your experience is exactly why StopWaiting exists in the first place.
What you’ve described is something so many patients still don’t realise: the NHS is committed to reducing waiting times, but in many areas it simply isn’t practical with the limits on beds, theatres, and capacity.
People often assume the long wait is unavoidable — when in reality, faster NHS-funded options can exist just a little further afield.
We’re really pleased we were able to help you find those alternative hospitals and that, by being willing to travel, you were able to have your hip replacement completed within three months rather than facing a twenty-month delay locally.
That’s a life-changing difference.
And honestly, we wish more people approached their situation the way you did — calmly choosing the best option available for them, rather than feeling stuck waiting simply because they weren’t told there was another route.
Thank you again for your recommendation. It means the world to us, and it will genuinely help other patients feel confident taking that first step.
Wishing you continued recovery and all the very best ahead.
Warm regards,
StopWaiting Team
Excellent! Highly recommend Stop waiting.
I highly recommend anyone to use this service. I have been stuck on an urgent expedited cardiologist waiting list for months but after asking my Dr this morning, following Stop waitings advice, to search for an appointment outside my area I have been given an appointment in London. I am massively relieved and extremely grateful to Stop waiting. Use them . It can turn everything around for you. They are responsive and caring. I just wish everyone knew about them. Thank you Stop waiting!

Hi Andrea — thank you so much for this wonderful review.
We’re genuinely so relieved to hear you were able to secure a cardiology appointment in London after such a long and stressful wait. Being stuck on an urgent waiting list for months is incredibly difficult, and it means a lot that our guidance helped you and your GP explore options outside your local area.
Your words about feeling “massively relieved” are exactly why StopWaiting exists — to help people access the care they need sooner, especially when the waiting feels endless.
Thank you as well for mentioning that we were responsive and caring. We truly do our best to support people through what can be a very worrying time.
Wishing you all the very best for your upcoming appointment, and thank you again for recommending us so strongly.
Warmest regards,
The StopWaiting Team
Great advice from Stopwaiting!
If you are expecting to wait a significant time for an operation on the NHS, then it would be a really good idea to get advice from Stopwaiting. They helped me to get treatment well within the 14 weeks which should be people's expectation from the NHS.

Absolutely brilliant
Absolutely brilliant! Very helpful. I have tried and tried to get info from my GP about referring my wife to a different hospital for a hip replacement, without luck. I paid £69 for the highest plan from stopwaiting, because my wife had special needs, and it was worth every penny. Stopwaiting gave me the info I needed, written in clear to understand instructions, and in a very short time. I sent them further questions as things progressed, and they replied almost by return. I would recommend them to anyone!

We're really glad we could help you and your wife, especially when you’d been struggling to get clear information from the GP. That’s exactly why StopWaiting exists, and it means a lot to hear the plan made things easier for you both.

We’re really sorry you feel disappointed Nesreen, and we do appreciate you sharing your experience - even if not accurate.
Our service is built on official NHS guidance and the national NHS e-Referral system, which millions of patients use every year to access NHS care in NHS-contracted private hospitals.
We prepared and sent you your personalised guidance, complete with direct NHS links, but you elected not to action it. We've engaged with you via email when required (it's important to note we get a lot of enquiries so we deal with our enquiries chronologically).
We’re still here and very happy to support you in using your NHS rights whenever you’re ready.
Warm Regards,

This is the best advise I have had in years
Frustrated at being crippled having waiting over 2 years for a hip replacement I contacted Stopwaiting
They gave friendly advice and support to find a private surgeon who offered NHS operations
I quickly saw a surgeon and as Stopwaiting had suggested the waiting list was now 11-13 weeks not the additional 12 months the NHS were telling me
I think the public believe there is some kind of scam but believe me we have the right to choose our care despite my GPs reluctance to help
14 weeks on from my op I am pain free and able to lead a full an active life Stopwaiting helped me to re approach my GP and get the referral I was entitled to

Hi,
Your story absolutely made our day. You took the initiative, stood your ground, and made sure you got the care you were entitled to — and now, just 14 weeks after your operation, you’re living pain-free and active again. That’s exactly why we do what we do.
You’re right — there’s nothing “scammy” about exercising your NHS right to choose, but unfortunately many people don’t realise it’s even an option. By sharing your experience so openly, you’re helping others see that they can get their lives back without waiting years unnecessarily.
We’re so pleased you’re doing so well — and that you can now enjoy life without hip pain!
Great Service, do not doubt them.
To be honest, I was a bit sceptical when I first read about Stop Waiting and although I was already on the NHS waiting list for full knee replacement surgery on both knees, I didn't take any action for a month or so. When I finally did register, the response was immediate and I was supplied with lots of information giving advice and guidance. After contacting my GP, I was quickly re-referred to another Consultant and obtained an appointment very quickly. After the consultation, I was offered an appointment for the operation within 3 months. I have now had my right knee replaced at a private hospital of my choice and currently recovering.
I fully recommend Stop Waiting, who have been very helpful and supportive throughout.

Hi Russell,
What a fantastic outcome — We take no credit; it's all down to you taking that leap and acting on the information we sent. We know it can be hard to move from scepticism to action, so the fact you did (and so quickly got the result you needed) is a real credit to you.
We’re thrilled you were able to have your knee replacement at your chosen private hospital, without cost and are now recovering well. You’ve not only improved your own quality of life but your story will give hope to others who are unsure whether to take that first step.
Wishing you a smooth recovery and many more pain-free years ahead.
All the best,
The Stop Waiting Team
Quite a helpful company
Quite a helpful company. For a small fee. They will give you the information required to get you seen earlier. They do not actually connect you to specialists or hospitals.
It is a self help situation, armed with a better understanding of the medical procedures available. Well worth the fee!

Harass the doctor
Stop waiting have been in touch and told me to hassle my doctor more for information. I’m due to have a partial knee replacement in the next 12 to 15 months. My knee has been bad for over 10 years so hoping Stopwaiting can help quicken the process…

Thank you for sharing your experience so far. We know how frustrating it is to face waiting, especially after already dealing with knee problems for over a decade.
We’ve given you some steps to help push your GP for updates — and in finding the fastest possible route to surgery. Many of our customers have been able to cut their wait dramatically once the right pathways are opened, and we’re hoping to help you do the same.
Please keep us posted on any updates — we’re in your corner until you’re through this and on the road to recovery.

Deffo not a scam
From making the initial contact and paying the small fee (hubby was sceptical but agreed at the end of the day it's not a lot to loose if it was a scam) I like to prove him wrong.
The Information sent regarding the local private hospitals was thorough and i took my choice of hospital to my GP to refer me (again as he hadn't come across Stop Waiting was sceptical)
Anyway he sent an email and that afternoon my hospital of choice gor in touch.
I sm now booked in for my hip operation on 1st Oct- we had a holiday booked on the first date offered.
My advice is dont delay this is not a scam.

Eye surgery avoiding queues
Panic stricken and needing cataract operation urgently. NHS could only offer 9-12 months on their waiting list.
Incredibly saw StopWaiting on Facebook and immediately contacted them (in fear and trepidation in case this was a scam).
They are Incredible. From my initial contact/payment until l walked out cataract free took just over one week. Amazing team, knowledgeable, efficient and helpful - 100%, recommend. All done on NHS but at a private hospital. StopWaiting to get things moving - please end your endless wait for an op.

Stopwaiting have tried to be as helpful as possible but when your medical records are incorrect and your GP won’t give you the time of day to correct them, it just grinds you down.
