Waiting time on urgent referral to Royal Papworth Dx LVH with “probable” malignant hypertension?

My long-time Rheumatologist made this referral last week after NHS ECHO & ECG reports + blood tests finally led to Dx, after years of various tests & monitoring. Just posting now incase anyone here knows how long I’m likely to wait having already got these results & been officially put on this urgent referral pathway specifically to my CUH rheumatologist’s named colleague consultant at RP.

Just out of curiosity I checked the RP website which says non urgent waiting times are 3-5 months

I love in Kent and want a referral to Papworth as good facilities and track record. It's longer wait here hence Papworth to see Cardioologist.
