Read the collection and measurement methodologyHow to use this information
Hereford County Hospital is listed as a hospital emergency department. Department types have different capabilities; a shorter published wait does not mean a service is suitable for your condition.
Patients are prioritised by clinical urgency, not arrival order. An observation reflects the department’s published measure at a particular time, and cannot predict your individual experience.
Can I compare this figure with another hospital?
Only compare like-for-like measures. The average total stay includes tests and treatment; the longest current wait describes a different thing. Where a source gives a range, we keep the range and do not calculate an exact estimate.
