WaitSmart isn’t just automated data. It’s powered by real people too. Where hospitals don’t publish their waiting times online, our community steps in. Visitors who’ve recently been to an A&E, UTC, or MIU can submit the wait time they experienced, helping others make better decisions. Every community report is clearly labelled so you always know where the data comes from. Together, we’re building the most complete picture of emergency care waiting times in the UK.
We bring together multiple sources to give you the most up-to-date view of A&E, Urgent Treatment Centre, Minor Injuries Unit, and Walk-in Centre waiting times across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Every source we use is listed, with live last-checked times, on our data sources page.
Our primary source. We automatically check each hospital trust’s website every 15 minutes and record the waiting time they publish. This is the same data you’d see if you visited the trust’s own site.
For hospitals that don’t publish waiting times online, we rely on submissions from real visitors. These are clearly marked with a COMMUNITY badge so you can see exactly where the data came from.
Where a trust doesn’t publish directly but a third-party app or service surfaces the same publicly available information, we may use that as a source. We always aim to get data as close to the original source as possible.
Waiting times are estimates and can change rapidly. Department labels like “A&E”, “MIU”, or “UTC” are our interpretation and may not match the hospital’s own terminology. This is not medical advice. Always call 999 in an emergency. Read our full disclaimer.
