How long the queue is at each NFZ specialist clinic in Toruń, shortest wait first, with the phone number beside it. The figures are the clinics' own monthly returns to the Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia — the same numbers NFZ publishes itself, gathered here so you can compare the whole town in one place instead of one clinic at a time.
What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a clinic’s own monthly return to NFZ. It is stamped with the month the clinic reported, not with the moment you loaded this page, and NFZ publishes a new set roughly once a month.
An average wait is how long the people already on the list waited. It is not how long you will wait: a queue can be shorter or longer than its average by months, and one clinic’s list can move while another’s does not.
This page cannot book, hold or check anything. It is not connected to any clinic’s diary. To make an appointment, ring the clinic on the number beside it.
You will usually need a referral
Almost every clinic on this page will only see you with a skierowanie — a referral written by another doctor, usually your lekarz rodzinny. It is normally an e-skierowanie now: you are given a four-digit code and the clinic looks the rest up, so there is often no paper to carry. A small number of specialties in Poland need no referral at all. If you are not sure whether yours is one of them, or what to bring, the free NFZ patient line answers around the clock on 800 190 590.
These are appointments under the public NFZ contract only. A clinic may also see patients privately, often sooner and for a fee — private appointments are not in this register and are not on this page.

Clinics here do not report a first free appointment date to NFZ, so none is shown. The average wait is the only figure they publish, and inventing a date from it would be guesswork.

Worth knowing
Why one clinic's queue is months longer than another's
Nothing on this page says a shorter queue is a better clinic. A queue is short when a clinic has taken on few patients relative to the hours NFZ pays it for, and long when it has taken on many — which is often what a well-regarded clinic looks like. What the difference does tell you is where there is room this month, and that is worth a phone call before you accept the first date you are offered.
You cannot put yourself in the urgent queue
Przypadek pilny is decided by the doctor who writes the skierowanie, not by the patient and not by the clinic's receptionist. Its figures are shown here because they are genuinely different — for urology in Toruń the urgent queue runs at roughly half the stable one — but they only apply if your referral is already marked pilny.
If you cannot wait
A queue on this page is for planned outpatient care. Sudden illness at night, at the weekend or on a holiday is nocna i świąteczna opieka zdrowotna, which needs no referral; anything life-threatening is 112 or the hospital emergency department (SOR). The free patient line on 800 190 590 will tell you which of the three you need and where the nearest one is.
Toruń's queues are a long-standing local complaint
Waiting for a specialist comes up repeatedly in what residents say about living here, and it is not a small group's problem: more than a fifth of the town is 65 or older. This page exists because the figures were already public and simply hard to compare.
The authoritative version of everything on this page, and it covers the whole country, so it is where to look if the nearest clinic is outside Toruń. If it and this page disagree, it is right.
Free, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They will tell you where the nearest out-of-hours doctor and hospital emergency department are, and answer questions about referrals and entitlement. From abroad: +48 22 125 66 00.
