Follow-up after private surgery
After private surgery I check your recovery with a short questionnaire at about six weeks. I will see you in clinic if the answers suggest you need it, or if you would like a visit. Tell Michelle if you would prefer to be seen. Your answers are stored on Carebit, a patient record system. I use them to check how you are doing and, without your name, to audit how my patients recover. You can ask us to stop at any time.
If you have any problems in future, contact Michelle (private) or the Arthroplasty Practitioner Service.
Fees
Michelle will give you a written price before you decide. It covers my consultation and surgeon’s fee, and shows the hospital fee, the anaesthetist’s fee and the implant separately. It does not include physiotherapy after your operation or any follow-up beyond what we agree in writing. My fees are also listed on the Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN): see my PHIN profile.
