NHS waiting time for an ablation

[Norfolk_spaniel]

Has anybody recently had an ablation in England on the NHS and can tell me how long they had to wait for it? Mine will be at the NNUH. I have no idea whether it will be weeks or months or even over a year.

I was out on the list in May and I will be seen by October for Ablation. If you get a call with your GO and specifically ask for your referral to be “expedited “up the list if your symptoms are getting worse … that’s the magic word you need to use for your GP otherwise they won’t tap the write keys on the key board lol

I'm hoping that I will get some priority on the list as I can't tolerate any of the medications that control AF. My AF presents as a very erratic heartbeat but not an unduly high heart rate. It does make me feel very light headed and dizzy. I'm only 69 and usually active and the thought of doing very little while I wait for an ablation scares me.
