New free app to help patients wait less for urgent NHS care

Patients in Kent and Medway are now able to use an app to view waiting times at urgent treatment centres (UTCs) and minor injury units (MIUs).

The WaitLess app will help patients who have decided to go to a UTC or MIU make an informed choice about which site to visit.

It displays the number of people waiting and the longest waiting times, along with travel information, so patients can decide to visit a site that is not so busy.

The app is available free from iPhone App Store and Google Play Store – search WaitLess.

More information about using the right health service is available at www.stopthinkchoose.co.uk. The site also includes a map of all pharmacies in the county. Pharmacists are trained professionals who can help with a wide range of common health issues.
