About: Wrightington Hospital

Anything else?

i came to wrightington at the end of november 13 for a total hip replacement. i knew over the last few years the operation was looming up on me.i arrived on the friday morn at 7.30 at ward six, to say i was nervous was an understatement,from the moment i arrived the nurses and staff were totally proffesional and caring and very helpful. i was only in hospital 4 days and then home. i woke up on the john charnley wing, and had the pleasure to stay there till i was discharged.every single person in this hospital i had the pleasure to come in contact with till i went home, were so friendly , helpful and reassuring, i dont know now what i was so worried about.like a lot of people i speak too all say if you need a new hip, go to wrightington hospital , the centre of hip excellence in the uk.all i can say is a big grateful thankyou to every single person i had the pleasure of coming into contact with at wrightington.lastly i would like to thank my consultant who has totally changed my life. my family and myself will be eternally grateful, thanks again wrightington
