Ablation

Does anyone know what the ablation waiting times are at a the Freeman road hospital Newcastle upon Tyne are

Hi - sorry I don’t but the best way to find out is to ring the hospital department or if you are on the waiting list, your EP’s office/secretary.

I had an ablation early November after being put on the list in July 2018. However I think I only achieved this by contacting my EP' s secretary otherwise I'd probably still be waiting. I was having Afib episodes daily. Also there is a great arrhythmia nurse called Phil Rutherford who is so helpful and has a great knowledge of AF issues. My EP's secretary made me an appointment with him and that seemed to get things moving. Best of luck.

Hi I had my last one in Nov last year. I think I waited 5 months for my 1st ablation at the Freeman and then amother 5 months for my second (and hopfully last!!) ablation.

I have been told that the waiting list at the Freeman is 1 year to 18 Months and I had already waited 5 months and 2 cancellations before the meeting with the consultant.

Do you think I am being fobbed off.
