Dermatology waiting times by provider, ranked, England
Dermatology providers ordered by the median wait NHS England publishes for them, from the May 2026 referral to treatment publication, as of 31 May 2026. NHS trusts and independent-sector providers are ordered in separate tables below, because NHS England publishes them separately. Every figure is a specialty average for that whole provider, not a waiting time for one condition or one person.

How this page is built
Scope: NHS England's Consultant-led Referral to Treatment Waiting Times, Incomplete Pathways by Provider, treatment function C_330, Dermatology. The edition shown is May 2026 data, as of 31 May 2026, frozen at a dated URL on ingest.
Method: the ordering uses NHS England's own published median column. Nothing is recomputed or estimated. NHS trusts and independent-sector providers are ordered in separate tables because they are published separately and are not comparable with one another. A provider appears in a table only where a median is published for it and it reports at least the pathway floor carried in the edition.
Limits: a median is a specialty average across every condition treated in dermatology, so it describes neither one condition nor one person, and it is not a prediction of how long any individual will wait. The bars redraw the same published medians as a share of the longest median in the same table. English providers only.

NHS England dermatology waiting times, May 2026 data, as of 31 May 2026. 99 NHS trusts ordered by published median wait, longest first. Longest published median 23.7 weeks at Mid And South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Shortest published median 3.7 weeks at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. That is a spread of 6.5x. Each figure is a dermatology specialty average for that provider, not a waiting time for one condition or one person. This comparison describes NHS trusts only.

How current this is meant to be
NHS England publishes these figures monthly, roughly six weeks after the end of the reporting month. The newest edition we hold is May 2026. We expect the June 2026 edition to appear on that rhythm, and we check the NHS England landing page for it rather than promising a date we do not control. If this page still shows the May 2026 edition more than about eight weeks after the end of May 2026, treat it as unverified rather than current and email hello@finallyseen.org.uk. Frozen editions never change and carry no verify-by date: they are the record of what was published that month.
