Your Personalised Treatment Journey
Consultation
Prof. Hunt will take the time to thoroughly assess your condition by reviewing your referral, medical history, and conducting a detailed physical examination. He will clearly explain your diagnosis and discuss treatment options that align with your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and make informed decisions about your care.
Preparation
Our team will support you through every step of your surgical preparation. This includes coordinating any required pre-operative assessments, tests, and appointments, and providing you with clear instructions to follow in the lead-up to your procedure. We aim to ensure you feel informed, confident, and well-prepared, helping to minimise uncertainty and stress before surgery.
PROCEDURE
On the day of your operation, Prof. Hunt will perform your procedure using evidence-based surgical techniques appropriate for your condition. Each step is carefully planned to support your safety, comfort, and recovery. You will be cared for by a skilled surgical and nursing team throughout the process, from admission through to post-operative monitoring.
RECOVERY
After your surgery, Prof. Hunt and the care team will provide you with clear, personalised instructions to guide your recovery. This includes advice on wound care, pain management, and the use of any walking aids or supports. A structured rehabilitation plan will also be discussed, often involving physiotherapy to help support a gradual return to daily activities.
