Absolutely fantastic team of people from start to finish.
32 hours from check-in to discharge for a total hip replacement, & often they can do it even faster. They don't rush you, & there is no pressure to 'check-out'.
There is a rigorous assessment process to 'pass' before discharge, & they are happy for you to stay longer if you want to.
This is a lovely hospital with great facilities. The star feature is the staff team. Positive, professional, cheerful, & 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude - they have a great 'buzz' about them. It is so reassuring from a patients point of view when undergoing major surgery.
Looking forward to going back in a few weeks to get my other hip done.
