Upon your consultation, your Consultant may order some diagnostic imaging to allow them to see more clearly the issue thus enabling them to come up with the most appropriate method for treatment.

Results & Next Steps:

Your Consultant will explain to you what steps, if any, are needed next. If no further treatment is required you will be discharged back to the care of your GP.

If you require further treatment, your Consultant will discuss all options with you. If you require surgery, our scheduling department will be in touch with a date and time.

“I recently had major surgery (Total Hip Replacement) and I wanted to write to tell you my story and my positive experience.

To be honest I found it a difficult surgery but knew it had to be done. I can honestly say I’ve never received better care in any other hospital – I’m in my 60’s and have had quite a number of previous majors. The collaboration and communication of the team who took care of me was exceptional.

I had a nurse called Mary and she helped me over an issue which caused me great concern and it was not a bother for her. I’m so grateful to her. My night nurses Niamh and Megan were exceptional and kept checking on me – nothing was too much for them. Mr O’Toole came to see me every day and his care was so professional and I had complete trust in him.

I wanted to write this just to say I don’t think anyone looks forward to surgery like this but my experience at the Beacon Hospital was just incredible and wanted to let you know how I felt!”
