I saw my doctor for the referral for my first hip operation; the second (for which I hadn't actually seen the doctor about), I sort of self diagnosed. I rang the doctors, spoke to the practice nurse, and basically told her I felt that the time had come to consider a second hip operation (they obviously had my records about the first hip operation). I got the referral details through within a week, chose which hospital I wished to attend online (naturally chose the same hospital as my first operation), saw the same consultant within 2 months, who agreed the second operation was needed, and within 5 months, I had it done. Not private health care - all on the NHS.
As I said before, my experiences have all been superb.
