waiting time for MRI scan after GP visit

Roland

Hi,

How long it takes to wait for MRI scan after GP visit? Been to GP for knee and neck/shoulder problems. GP sent request for MRI scan same day. It's been 3 weeks - no letter, no call, no email, nothing.

Is there a way to check online your status.... where you are in the MIR scan queue or when you will receive a letter?

  • Hi Roland

    Sorry to hear that you're having to wait for the scan ordered by your GP. A lot will depend on the urgency of the referral that the GP sent and the waiting list at the hospital. If you are concerned about how long you will have to wait please do get in touch with your GP surgery who will be best placed to advise you further.
