Make An Enquiry

To ask a question, make an enquiry or book an appointment, contact our specialist orthopaedic team who are available between Monday – Friday 8am – 6pm. Our hip team have a dedicated and caring approach and will seek to find you the earliest appointment possible with the correct specialist for your needs.

If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP. You can simply refer yourself and book an appointment.

If you have medical insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa PPP, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation for any treatment and, in most cases, you will require a referral letter from your GP.

If you do not have a GP, then we have an in-house private GP practice that you can use. Alternatively we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstance.

Hip Fractures

Emergency Fractures

London Hip Specialists offers an emergency service for the older person with a likely hip fracture following a fall. This is a 24 hour, 7 days a week, multidisciplinary service with Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeons, Consultant Physicians, nurses, physiotherapist and occupational therapists all working together to treat the cause of the fall as well as getting the patient home as quickly as possible.

This service was designed to reduce the pressure on casualty departments by providing a direct admission facility for people seeking private healthcare.

One particular feature of this service is that we also investigate the reason for the fall. It is not always due to a simple trip, often it is caused by a medical problem such as low blood pressure or heart disease. By involving the Consultant Physician at the point of admission, we endeavour to reduce the likelihood of readmission to hospital.

Please Note: This service is not suitable for people involved in road traffic accidents or people who have, as a result of their trauma, been knocked unconscious.

How to Access the Service

One telephone call to the Duty Manager 24 hours a day is all it takes. Call 020 7806 4000 and ask to speak to the 08 bleep holder and we will do everything else.

We do need to speak to a medical practitioner to establish suitability to access the service.

This service is covered by most medical insurance companies.
