Where this data comes from
Wait times shown here are sourced from publicly available information published by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. Our system automatically checks the hospital’s website at regular intervals and records the displayed waiting time. Where a trust does not publish waiting times directly, we may source data from third-party applications or services that provide equivalent publicly available information. Data was last checked at 7:42pm on 20 Apr 2026. This site is independent and has no affiliation with, or endorsement by, any NHS trust or hospital. Department labels shown (e.g. A&E, MIU, UTC) are our interpretation of the source data and may not match the hospital’s own terminology. Wait times change frequently and may not reflect the current situation - always contact the hospital directly for the most up-to-date information. If any information is incorrect, please let us know.
