HospitalCheck

Compare hospitals for plastic surgery

Every NHS trust in England that reports plastic surgery, compared side by side. Waiting-list figures are for incomplete pathways (people still waiting to start treatment).

The best hospital depends on what matters most to you — a shorter wait, a better outcome, or a shorter journey. Sort by each to compare.

78 trusts. Data: August 2026. Source: NHS England RTT statistics. CQC inspection ratings aren't shown here — see each trust's profile page, linked from every row.

Tip: for planned care you can usually ask to be referred to any trust — one with a higher “% within 18 weeks” may treat you sooner. Your right to choose.
