Barlborough hip replacement gets Terrence's seal of approval

Read about Terence’s Barlborough hip replacement experience…

“I would recommend Practice Plus Group without a shadow of a doubt,” says Terence Watson, 80. “I was in severe pain and needed a hip replacement on my right side, but I couldn’t get into my local hospital for 18 months. I couldn’t have carried on for that long. A gentleman down the road had been to Barlborough Hospital and said it was very good.

“I was very well treated by everybody” he continued. “I was particularly pleased with how well-mannered and attentive everyone was. I had my hip replacement operation at 11.30am and when I came out of surgery, a meal was waiting for me. I was told that if my blood test looked good and the surgeon was happy with me when he saw me at 5pm I could go home that night, and that’s what happened. It was seamless really.

I felt fine, and have made a very good recovery. I’ve been back for physiotherapy and am a week ahead of schedule in terms of recovery- and I’m 80 years old!

“I was particularly pleased with how well-mannered and attentive everyone was…it was seamless really.”

I’m looking forward to getting back to gardening very soon. I just want to keep moving, keep walking and seeing my six grandchildren who come to visit- they’ll keep me active! I feel very well satisfied with everything at Practice Plus Group Barlborough.”
