For Patients
Patient Information
Everything you need to know before, during and after your treatment, plus answers to the questions patients ask most.
Your Pathway
What happens, step by step
Your first consultation
A 30-minute appointment covering your history, an examination and a review of any imaging. X-rays can usually be arranged on the same visit.
Diagnosis and options
Your scans are shown and explained to you, with every reasonable option set out, including the option of doing nothing for now.
Pre-operative preparation
If you proceed to surgery, you will have a pre-assessment, health checks and a personal plan for medication, anaesthetic and going home.
Surgery and hospital stay
Paddy Subramanian performs your operation personally. Physiotherapy starts the same day, and most patients go home the same day or after an overnight stay.
Recovery and follow-up
A structured physiotherapy programme with consultant reviews at six weeks, three months and one year, plus direct access to the secretary in between.
