WaitLess App - Helping you avoid long waiting times for urgent care
The WaitLess app combines current waiting time, queue numbers and travel-time at urgent care facilities in the county. This displayed information helps you make an informed decision about where to seek the fastest treatment for minor illness and injuries. Along with this, the app displays all available pharmacies in the area as an alternative treatment option.
The times shown on the app combine travel, waiting and treatment time, to give patients the most accurate picture of how long they may spend at each location, allowing them to decide on the most appropriate setting to attend. The app also displays a full list of services available at each site, as well as parking and opening-time information.
In addition to WaitLess there are a range of alternatives to access healthcare, including self-care, asking your pharmacist, contacting your GP surgery, visiting NHS 111 online or calling NHS 111.
