“I think you need more than one day. You need around three to five days in hospital. I was very impressed and everything went according to plan. Raoul, Suzanne, they have all been a great help.”– Tony Currie

Frustrated patient skips long NHS waiting list to go for hip op care package in France

After facing a three-year wait for a new hip on the NHS, Linda Clark struck a money-saving deal and joined the 75,000 Scots a year opting to become health tourists. The package was 40% cheaper than the UK cost and included an accompanying partner, all meals, daily physio, nursing support, and a six-month Scottish GP recovery plan.

Why Knee Replacement Is Done

Knee replacement surgery is recommended when:

  • Pain affects your daily life (walking, bending, climbing stairs, or sleeping)
  • Non-surgical treatments like medications or physiotherapy are no longer effective
  • X-rays show significant joint damage or cartilage loss

Why UK patients Should Consider Knee Replacement Surgery in France

For many UK patients, travelling abroad for surgery may seem unnecessary, until they experience the realities of long NHS waiting lists. Extended delays, limited private capacity, and postponed procedures can significantly affect quality of life. That is why France is becoming an increasingly popular destination for UK patients seeking fast, safe, and high-quality knee replacement surgery.

When knee pain starts affecting your walking, sleep, work, and independence, waiting months for surgery simply isn’t acceptable.
