There is a streamlined system of admission and on the day of surgery you will usually be taken to the admission ward, which is adjacent to the operating theatre. You'll then be taken to the neighbouring orthopaedic ward after your operation to recover and rehabilitate. This approach has resulted in a significant reduction in length of hospital stay.

The following specialist areas of orthopaedic care are provided for:
hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, neck, thoracic spine, lumbar spine.

Clinical specialist physiotherapist help is also on offer in the back pain triage clinic, the shoulder clinic, and the knee clinic.

Many internal audits are carried out, and we fully participate in the following national audits: national joint registry, national hip fracture database, patient outcomes in surgery and the United Kingdom rotator cuff (UKUFF) trial.
