Your first visit

Waiting times

You have been referred to the hospital for further treatment by your General Practitioner (G.P.) and would like to be treated as soon as possible. Hospital waiting times depend on various factors.  

Actual waiting times
If you are coming from another hospital or have been referred by your G.P. you have to come to the Outpatients' Department before treatment.

The quoted waiting times are the planning times in weeks from when the appointment is made. The figures show the actual waiting times. The reported waiting times can vary from the actual time that you have to wait. Unexpected or exceptional circumstances can occur that may increase or even reduce the waiting times 

No rights can be derived from the quoted waiting times.  

Waiting time Outpatient Clinic
The number of weeks between the moment an appointment is made for the Outpatient Clinic and the moment of the appointment itself.

Waiting time treatment
The number of weeks between the moment that the treating physician decides that surgical treatment is required and the moment the patient is admitted for surgery.

Waiting time diagnostic test
The number of weeks between the moment an appointment for a diagnostic test is made (by a patient who is not admitted) and the moment of the test itself.

Via their G.P., emergency patients can always be dealt with immediately in Bronovo Hospital.

Questions about waiting times
For further questions about these, you can telephone the relevant Outpatients’ Department.
