There's always good and bad stories about peoples experiences of the NHS - personally mine is excellent.
Had two total hip replacements - one in 2021 and the other in 2022, both after only approx 7 months after seeing the doctor. The waiting time of 7 months included being referred, seeing the consultant, and all the pre op tests etc etc
My second one would have been after only 5 months, but I got Covid after attending a funeral, so it had to be postponed
The standard of care and the post op treatment was second to none.
I know I'm only one in a long list of patients, and waiting times do vary from region to region, but I've nothing but praise for my NHS experiences follow my ops.
