When it comes to orthopaedic care in the South of England, patients are lucky to have access to two exceptional private providers: Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital and Spire Southampton Hospital. Choosing one of these centres offers real, data-backed advantages that can make all the difference to your outcome and your experience.

🕰️ Shorter Waiting Times and Faster Treatment

Southampton’s Nuffield and Spire hospitals can typically offer:

Consultations within 1–2 weeks, compared to NHS waits of 18+ weeks for orthopaedic referrals.

Elective knee surgery with an average wait time of 4–6 weeks, allowing you to bypass long NHS backlogs.

💡 NHS England data (2023) shows that in Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, orthopaedic waits regularly exceed 30–40 weeks. By contrast, Nuffield and Spire aim to see most patients treated within 6–8 weeks of first consultation.

🏥 World-Class Expertise on Your Doorstep

Both hospitals have:

Teams led by experienced orthopaedic consultants like Mr. Frame, specialising in advanced, evidence-based techniques such as partial knee resurfacing and Arthrex all-inside ACL reconstruction.

On-site imaging (MRI and X-ray) and dedicated physiotherapy teams to speed up recovery.

Modern theatres and enhanced recovery pathways that help most patients return home the next day, reducing hospital stay times and infections.

💰 Transparent, Fixed Pricing — No Surprises

Nuffield Health and Spire offer inclusive fixed-price surgery packages (e.g. partial knee replacement packages at around £12,000–£15,000), often including follow-up visits and physiotherapy.
