Ward information
Most patients will be admitted to the Orthopaedic ward for their hip surgery. However, very occasionally you may be admitted to the Trauma ward. You will be informed prior to your admission which ward you are booked into.
On consultations with your surgeon and/or members of the orthopaedic team a chaperone may be present. The chaperone will be a member of hospital staff within the orthopaedic unit. As a patient you may request a chaperone to be present during any medical examination by a doctor or clinician.
