Orthopaedic Services at Bournemouth

Welcome

Welcome to the orthopaedic department at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital. We provide all aspects of planned (elective) orthopaedic treatment to residents of Dorset and the New Forest area. This includes pre-operative appointments, inpatient care, and surgery, as well as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and post-operative outpatient care including review of your recovery and wounds.

As we provide planned services, we consider treatment and surgery following a referral from your GP. Any trauma (unplanned) orthopaedic surgery and care happens at Poole Hospital.

We have designed this webpage to explain what will happen at each stage of your care and to provide detailed information to help you with your treatment and recovery. Contact details are provided throughout in case you need to get in touch with us.
