We are excited to announce the opening of our state-of-the-art Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester, has now opened. This new facility is a testament to our Trust’s ongoing commitment to enhancing healthcare services in the region and working collaboratively with orthopaedic services across Hampshire and Isle of Wight to serve patients across our communities.

Hampshire Hospitals has now opened the doors to a new Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre (HOC), based at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester.

The Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre is a new facility that improves access to elective surgery and reduces the elective backlog across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It provides more capacity, running five days a week with consultants from both Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospital Southampton operating at the facility.

The following patient information booklets are available:

Having planned surgery under a general anaesthetic

Total hip replacement

Total hip replacement exercises

Total knee replacement

Total knee replacement exercises

This new facility is part of a national programme to deliver 'surgical hubs', designed to increase elective capacity as part of the NHS England 'Getting It Right First Time' programme, offering hundreds of thousands more patients quicker access to some of the most common procedures.

Adults across Hampshire and Isle of Wight who require orthopaedic operations (such as hip and knee replacements) are eligible to attend the new facility, which features 16 single patient rooms, two orthopaedic theatres, and multiple four-bedded patient bays.

Crucially, it allows more orthopaedic patients to be seen and reduce waiting lists, with consultants from both Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and University Hospital Southampton operating at the facility.

Alongside the new Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre, Hampshire Hospitals is also currently building a new outpatient facility specifically for orthopaedics. Scheduled to open in late 2025, this new department facility will provide eight outpatient rooms; a co-located plain film x-ray service with an adjacent treatment room; and four fracture clinic assessment booths with an adjacent two bay plaster room.

“My manager is very proactive with our training and encourages our development and learning.”

“I love talking to patients, I could talk for days – I always get called a chatter box! When a patient is worried or anxious, I try to help and calm them down by talking to them. I’m currently training someone, which I never thought I would do. I love it because it means my team trust me to share my wisdom with someone new!”

“I have been here for twelve years and I particularly like the supportive environment - there is always someone to ask and someone to talk to.”

“I was attracted to the area because of what I heard about the surroundings and how close to London you are. I took the opportunity to move away from home, broaden my horizons and progress my career.”

“The hospital accommodation at Basingstoke is a couple of minutes walk from the hospital. Things like broadband, electricity and water are all included in the rent and there is a laundry – you don’t have to worry about anything and the staff are really helpful.”

“We’ve got a good reputation, we give good quality care and we work as a team.”

“We are dynamic and we want to lead from the front. You learn a lot when you are here. It’s first class.”
