Description
***CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN KENT AND LINCOLNSHIRE ONLY***
(Will soon be launching in Hampshire and Isle of Wight)
WaitLess is a patient empowerment app designed to help patients make an informed decision about where to the seek urgent medical attention, avoiding busy A&E departments where possible.
The App helps patients identify the fastest route to receiving care for non-life-threatening emergencies, by presenting combined live waiting-times for Minor Injury Units (MIUs), Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs), Walk-In Centres, (WICs) and Emergency Departments (EDs), and indicative travel time information for all urgent care facilities across a locality.
The App gives patients the option to call 999 or 111 or access the 111 web-app, before patients to proceed to WaitLess.
WaitLess clearly displays the number of patients waiting in a treatment centre, wait times for the longest waiting patient, as well as travel time information for multiple modes of transport with directions to each facility, and ranks each site in fastest order.
With just one click, the app will geo-locate the patient and redirect to the google map service on their device to present live directions and travel routes.
In addition to this, the app provides detailed site and service information for each treatment centre, including opening hours, treatments offered, parking facilities and disabled access details.
WaitLess also displays a directory of pharmacies within the locality, allowing patients to access details such as services provided on site, opening hours, address details and contact telephone numbers, along with directions via google maps.
WaitLess is designed to help patients get the treatment they need more quickly by presenting alternative care locations to help them avoid long queues and wait times. By using the WaitLess App, patients will help the NHS to reduce pressure in busy A&E departments and provide lifesaving emergency treatment to those who really need it.
The app displays waiting times for adults only. If you are seeking care for a child under 16, please dial 111.
For serious injuries and medical emergencies please call 999.

Ratings and Reviews
Love it but
The problem with this great app is I have my text set to large and the app does not communicate for this so cannot see a lot of the information.
Also at the bottom where it displays the centre which includes the information there an open with click on section it doesn’t open.
But this is a really good idea love I but needs work.
This needs to be rolled out everywhere
I’ve personally used this app several times and 1) it’s opened every time and 2) it was accurate when I got to the unit showing the shortest wait time. Even without the waiting times it’s useful to know what’s available and where, at what times and what’s provided there (X-rays etc).. helps navigate a complex health system that even those who work in it, like I do, struggle to understand 👍
Needs a small tweak
This is an absolutely fantastic resource, and I really love how simple it is and it seems to have a lot of up to date information in the Dorset area.
My main gripe though is that if you pick travel by public transport or walking, it doesn’t re-list which service is the shortest time to be seen. Not everyone has a car and it would be great to see which is fastest by other transport without having to scroll through every single option.
