Your consultations
For your appointments, you’ll meet your consultant in one of our 21 consultation rooms. All of our rooms are accessible, which makes it easier if you find walking difficult prior to hip replacement.
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. Both your initial consultation and tests at this stage are charged separately to the cost of any treatment needed.
When you come in for your operation, you’ll be with us for three to four days. You’ll stay in one of our 30 large, bright private rooms. They all include:
If you've come with a friend or family member, they're welcome to wait in our restaurant while you have your operation.
You’ll meet your surgery team and anaesthetist. Here’s what will happen once you're ready:
After your operation, you’ll be taken back to your private room to start your recovery.
One of our physiotherapists will want to get you up and about as soon as you feel ready. They’ll also give you advice on how to boost your recovery using special exercises after hip replacement.
Our nursing team will give you pain relief to help you deal with any pain after your hip replacement surgery. They’ll make sure you’re comfortable and have everything you need.
