About this app

Compare average A&E wait guidance. Find urgent care near you.

A&E Waits & Urgent Care UK brings two practical tools together: average A&E visit-duration guides and a nearby urgent-care finder for NHS services across the UK.

Important: this is an independent app. It does not represent the NHS, NHS England, the UK government, or any hospital. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any government body or NHS organisation.

Plan with clearer context
Use average A&E visit-duration ranges to compare nearby hospitals at a glance. The app also shows average patterns by day of the week and hour where data is available, helping you understand when services are usually busier.

Find urgent care nearby
Search for A&E departments, urgent treatment centres and minor injury services. View services on a map, check distance when location access is enabled, and open directions in your phone's map app.

Useful details in one place
Service pages bring together available opening status, published opening hours, addresses, telephone numbers and links to official information, so you can check practical details before travelling.

What you can do
- compare average A&E visit-duration guides
- find nearby A&E and urgent-care services

Not a live queue app
The wait guidance is based on previously published NHS England data. It is not live queue information, a guarantee, clinical advice, or a recommendation to choose one service over another. Actual waits can change quickly, and patients are prioritised according to clinical need.

Ready when you need it
Core service and pattern data is cached locally on your phone, helping the app remain useful when your connection is limited. No account is required.

Emergency information
Do not use this app to delay urgent treatment. In a life-threatening emergency, call 999. If you are unsure where to get help, contact NHS 111 or use the official NHS website.

Information may change. Always confirm important details with the service or an official NHS source before travelling.
