Hampshire Orthopaedic Centre in Winchester is now open!
Click here to view all vacancies @ HHFT!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 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.
