I'm on the waiting list for ablation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham (Mr Marshall's list). Does anyone have an idea how long the wait is?

Had both mine there. Waited 4 months from December 2020 and then 5 months from October 2021 for my top up. Good department-very experienced with high success rate. I had Lencioni but same department. 3 EPs there I think. Their arrhythmia nurse service is particularly good in my experience. Be prepared for short notice if you don't want a long wait. 2 weeks in both my cases.

Thank you Singwell. That sounds reassuring, and short notice is not a problem for me. Starting to realise how this condition can be so restricting for a lot of people (very high rate for last 10 weeks; now being treated with Digoxin but still see heart rate well north of 100 although generally appears to have come down into 60s, from 120).
