The NHS Crisis

The Wait Is Getting Longer. The Pain Isn't Getting Better.

The NHS target is 18 weeks. The reality? Only 62% of patients are treated within that time. For orthopaedic surgery, the numbers are even worse.

“I waited nearly 5 years for a knee replacement in London. Five years of not being able to walk properly, not being able to play with my grandchildren.”

— UK patient, BoneSmart forum

“I couldn't bear the wait any longer. The pain was constant, and when I found out I could get the surgery done within a month abroad, at half the price, it felt like an obvious choice.”

— Charlotte Davies, 47, England

Patient Stories

Real Patients. Real Results. Real Lives Changed.

Don't take our word for it — hear from patients who made the decision to stop waiting and start living.

Everything from airport to being picked up, hotel, hospital, loved it all — it was the best decision I ever made. I tell everyone here in Ireland about it. I had the whole thing organised in four weeks.

Mary K.

Ireland · Hip Replacement

The whole experience has been amazing. It was just as good, if not better than having the surgery in the UK. Walking without sticks within a week.

David P.

England · Knee Replacement

I was 58 years old. I needed my life back, and I couldn't wait any longer. Three weeks from my first call to walking out of the hospital. Best money I ever spent.

Robert T.

Northern Ireland · Hip Replacement

Initially I wanted the surgery in the Netherlands, but the offer was much better — half the price, experienced surgeon, all-included care. My hip is as good as before I ever had arthritis.

R.D.

Netherlands · Hip Replacement

The experience from start to finish is 5 star — admin staff, surgeon, anaesthetist, nurses, physiotherapists and logistics team made the whole process seamless and professional.

Mark H.

England · Hip Replacement

Walked upstairs without crutches 2 weeks post-op. Pain-free 2-mile walk at 2.5 weeks. 50% cost savings compared to UK private. Cannot recommend highly enough.
