The NHS Reality

The NHS Can't Give You Your Life Back — Not Yet

For tens of thousands of UK patients, hip pain isn't just discomfort — it is stolen sleep, cancelled plans, dependency on others, and a growing fear of what the next year looks like. NHS waiting lists for hip replacement now stretch beyond 18 months in many parts of the country. That is not an inconvenience. That is your life.

At Medidash, we believe you shouldn't have to wait years for a procedure that could restore your independence in weeks. Our patients receive surgical care at Bumrungrad International — recognised as a leader in Thailand for robotic joint surgery — with treatment starting in as little as 2–4 weeks from enquiry.

Patient Stories

UK Patients Who Chose Not to Wait — and Never Looked Back

These are real stories from real patients — people who had the same doubts you might have right now.

★★★★★

I was 58 years old and had been on the NHS waiting list for nearly two years. My hip pain was affecting my sleep, my work, and my mental health. A colleague mentioned Medidash. Within 12 days of making an enquiry, I was in a private room at Bumrungrad International having my hip assessed. Three weeks after surgery, I flew home pain-free. The entire experience was calming, professional, and transformative. I genuinely wish I had done it sooner.

★★★★★

I went for the MAKO robotic procedure. The level of detail in the pre-operative planning was unlike anything my UK consultants had shown me. The 3D scan, the virtual model, the precision — it gave me enormous confidence. My recovery was faster than any of the UK timelines I'd been told to expect. My Medidash coordinator was available on WhatsApp throughout. Absolutely faultless service.

R

★★★★★

I'll be honest — I was nervous about surgery abroad. But Bumrungrad isn't 'abroad' in the way you might imagine. It's a world-class hospital with immaculate private rooms, English-speaking staff everywhere, and surgeons with CVs that would make any UK consultant envious. Medidash held my hand throughout. I came home walking properly for the first time in three years.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered Honestly

Everything you need to know before you decide.

Is it safe to have hip replacement surgery in Thailand?
Yes — when performed at Bumrungrad International Hospital, which has held JCI accreditation since 2002, the same benchmark as the UK's top private hospitals. Bumrungrad is recognised as a leader in Thailand for robotic joint surgery with thousands of procedures performed. We share full surgeon credentials with every patient before they commit.
What is MAKO robotic hip replacement and how does it differ?
MAKO uses a robotic arm, 3D imaging, and computer planning for precise implant placement. Before surgery, a CT scan creates a virtual model of your hip anatomy. This minimises risks including dislocation, leg length discrepancy, and implant wear — while enabling smaller incisions and less tissue damage. 90% of patients walk within 24 hours, with hospital stays of approximately 3 days.
Why is the Standard package priced without the implant?
Hip implants vary significantly in design, material, and suitability based on each patient's anatomy, age, and activity level. Rather than bundling in an implant that may not suit your case, your surgeon will assess your situation and recommend the optimal implant type. Your coordinator will include the estimated implant cost in your personalised treatment plan before you commit.
How long will I need to be in Bangkok?
Most patients stay 12–16 days: approximately 3 nights in hospital for MAKO (3–5 nights for Standard), followed by 7–10 nights in a hotel near Bumrungrad for initial physiotherapy and recovery before flying home. We arrange hotel accommodation at preferential rates close to the hospital.
Is the cost comparable to UK private care?
Yes — our hip replacement pricing is broadly comparable to UK private rates and we are transparent about this. The primary reason our patients choose Medidash is the ability to have surgery within 2–4 weeks rather than waiting 18 months or longer on the NHS, combined with a level of personalised care that is difficult to replicate in the UK.
Will my NHS GP be kept informed of my treatment?
Yes. Bumrungrad provides a full surgical report — including implant specifications, operative notes, and post-surgical recommendations — which you can share with your NHS GP upon return. Our UK aftercare team will support you in coordinating any follow-up physiotherapy through the NHS or a private physio.
What if I have complications after returning to the UK?
Your Medidash coordinator remains your first point of contact. Bumrungrad provides a complete surgical record including all implant details which any UK orthopaedic consultant or NHS team can access immediately. For urgent matters, your NHS A&E is always available. Our team is experienced in facilitating communication between Bumrungrad and UK medical teams.
Can my partner or family member come with me?
Absolutely — many of our patients bring a spouse or family member. Bangkok is a vibrant, comfortable city and Bumrungrad is located in an area with excellent hotels, restaurants, and things to do. We can arrange hotel accommodation at preferential rates for companions. Bangkok is well-connected from major UK airports.
