Judging by this month's newsletter from Dr John Day in the USA (I posted it on this Forum today) you have made a good choice of procedure. However if I was you I would seek out the right consultant (in the UK or if private funds allow France) who has had plenty of experience - even the best procedures can go wrong in inexperienced hands 🤔.

After doing extensive research myself, I chose PFA at Bournmouth, they are one of the few so far, hospitals to undertake this and Doctors are the leaders in their field. So I am happy to travel further to be treated by them , as a result, I am on the PFA list for Bournmouth, hopefully won't be too long now.

Hi How long are they quoting to wait for ablation?

sunlovah in reply toPrawnsalad

Was quoted 20-25 weeks in January. Been 4 months so far, guess doctors strikes haven't helped.

Dr Bala a lovely man, a leading consultant in PF and other ablation. He's really down to earth and completely relatable, felt so at ease and confident with him.Are you thinking of going to Bournmouth?

No, not yet. Did he quote you a approximate time wait ? Hope all goes well with your other op.

3 months but may be longer now. I didn’t know an Angiogram was necessary before procedure , is that so for everyone?

I don't know. Perhaps if you've had scans done locally before, it may count. I'm not local to Bournmouth but in North Devon, not sure if that makes a difference. Might be worth a phone call.
