1. About ShorterWait and These Terms

ShorterWait is an online service operated by Olympus Premium Health Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 13621708, with its registered office at 82a James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, IP28 7DE ("we", "us", "our").

By accessing or using ShorterWait (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. The date of the most recent revision is shown above.

2. Description of the Service

ShorterWait provides information to NHS patients in England to help them exercise their legal right to choose a hospital for outpatient treatment. The Service displays NHS waiting-time data sourced from NHS England's publicly available datasets, published under the Open Government Licence v3.0.

The Service includes:

  • A hospital search tool (search by postcode and clinical specialty), available at no charge;
  • The Switch Pack (one-time purchase, £14.99), which includes a GP re-referral letter template, a switching guide, and 90 days of email waiting-time alerts for elective care;
  • The ADHD Switch Pack (one-time purchase, £19.99), which includes referral letters, evidence guides, provider information, and escalation letters for the NHS ADHD and autism Right to Choose pathway; and
  • A forthcoming GP Practice Dashboard (early-access waitlist).

3. Not Medical Advice

The Service does not constitute medical advice and does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and Olympus Premium Health Limited or any of its directors, employees, or contractors.

Waiting-time data is provided for informational and educational purposes only. You must always consult your own registered GP or treating clinician before making any decision about your care, including any decision to request a re-referral or to switch hospital.

In a medical emergency, dial 999 or attend your nearest Accident & Emergency department immediately.

4. NHS Data and Accuracy

Waiting-time data displayed by the Service is derived from NHS England's "My Planned Care" dataset, which is Crown Copyright and used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We refresh this data on a weekly basis but we do not guarantee that figures are current, complete, or error-free.

Actual wait times at any given hospital may differ from those shown. You should verify current waiting times directly with your chosen hospital or via the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS) before acting on any information from this Service.

5. Eligibility and Account Registration

The Service is intended for use by individuals aged 18 or over who are registered NHS patients in England.

If you create an account, you must provide accurate information and keep your login credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at tosin@op-health.co if you suspect unauthorised access.

  • use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law;
  • scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service without our prior written consent;
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Service or its underlying systems;
  • use the Service to transmit spam, malware, or any harmful content;
