Appointments

Do I need a referral to book?

No, you can book directly online, by phone or on WhatsApp.

How quickly can I be seen?

New consultations are usually available within a week. Injuries are seen at the 24 hour fracture desk.

Can I bring my child to any clinic?

Children are best seen in our Tuesday and Saturday children's clinic, but the fracture desk sees children at any time.

Surgery and recovery

How long will I be in hospital?

It depends on the operation: from a few hours for carpal tunnel release to three or four nights for a knee replacement. The recovery timelines page shows typical stays.

When can I return to work?

Desk work often resumes sooner than physical work. Use the recovery planner for typical ranges and ask your surgeon about your own job.

Will it hurt?

Some pain is expected and you will have a pain plan, starting in theatre with nerve blocks or a spinal anaesthetic where suitable.

Costs and HMOs

Do you accept my HMO?

We work with most HMOs in the South East. Call with your HMO name and plan and we will check.

Can I pay in instalments?

For planned surgery, yes: a 40 percent deposit and two further payments before admission.

Is the estimate final?

The written estimate after consultation is what we charge unless your care changes, which we always discuss with you first.

Facilities

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking for 60 cars.

Is the building accessible?

Fully: ramps, lifts, accessible toilets and wheelchairs at the entrance.

Do you have a pharmacy?

Yes, on the ground floor, open the same hours as clinics.

Still unsure?

Speak to a nurse

Our orthopaedic nurses answer calls from 8am to 6pm on weekdays. They can help you decide whether you need the fracture desk today or a clinic appointment this week.
