Our dedicated orthopaedic consultants specialise in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal (bone and muscle) conditions. Here’s what will happen before your treatment:
Your consultations give you an opportunity to ask questions and discuss your expectations, needs and desires. Your consultant will then be able to outline a treatment and care plan that’s tailored to you.
When you come in for your operation, you’ll be with us for two to four days. You’ll have one of our 27 large, bright private rooms.
If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they'll be advised when they can return and visit you.

You’ll be given medication to help you manage pain, and sessions with your physiotherapist as soon as you’re ready. Your physiotherapist will help you get active again and provide exercises that help you get the most out of your hip replacement.
