At London Bridge Orthopaedics, we offer rapid assessment, specialist consulting and treatment for our patients. We can develop a personalised care programme for your needs, using the latest surgical, non-surgical and holistic techniques.

If surgery is needed, your Consultant will explain the procedure and what you can expect to happen. You will then either be discharged, provided with a personalised treatment plan or booked in for surgery as appropriate.

You can pay for your own treatment or, if you are covered, you can claim this on your private medical insurance.

If you are looking for orthopaedic hospital treatment, you will be often seeing these terms:

• Outpatient – a patient who comes into the hospital for a short appointment – this may be a consultation with your specialist, a test or a scan. You will not need to stay at the hospital overnight.
• Day-case – a patient who comes in for a more involved procedure than an outpatient. You may need some recovery time at the hospital, but you should be able to go home the same day.
• Inpatient – a patient who stays in hospital for one or more nights. You may also be asked to come in for some assessment or preparation before you come to stay.

We understand you may want someone with you when you are being examined or treated, so we have nursing chaperones who can be with you to look after your needs. You’re also welcome to bring an adult friend or family member to be with you.
