Methodology note

NHS England publishes one combined waiting time for the whole Trauma and Orthopaedic Service specialty — that figure rolls up hip replacement with every other condition routed through the same outpatient department. The wait for hip replacement specifically may be shorter or longer than the specialty median at any given trust. We surface this caveat on every comparison.

This wait covers all of Trauma and Orthopaedic Service — the wait for Hip replacement specifically may differ. Ask your GP for the procedure-specific timeline. Why this matters →
