Already registered with Swiftqueue / Used Swiftqueue before to book an appointment?
Step 1
- To book an appointment, please log on to https://www.swiftqueue.co.uk/userlogin.php as an Existing User or using your NHS login.
Please note: If you have linked your NHS login with your Swiftqueue account and you try to login as an existing user with Swiftqueue, you will see this error.

Step 2

Step 4

- The time screen will offer you the next available time. (In this example 25th Jan is the first available date. There are no earlier dates available)
- You can click the right arrow to move to a later date/ month if needed.
Step 5
- On the confirmation page, select the Patient Name. (If age restricted shows, this means the clinic does not accept patients for that age group. See age restriction article for more information on this)
- Tick the boxes to agree to the terms and conditions and hit submit.
- Option to add comments so that the staff are aware if needed.
- Special Assistance option alerts staff that you may need assistance. (This does NOT request any wheelchair etc. This must be requested directly with the hospital as Swiftqueue cannot request this)
