The clinic offers orthopaedic consultation, musculoskeletal ultrasound, the One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic pathway, and ultrasound-guided injection or aspiration options where clinically appropriate.
No. You can self-refer directly. The clinic can help you choose whether a consultation, MSK ultrasound, One-Stop appointment or injection-related pathway is most suitable.
The One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic may be helpful when the cause is unclear because it combines clinical assessment with diagnostic MSK ultrasound and correlates both sets of findings in one appointment.
The private orthopaedic consultation costs £199 all-inclusive. Any additional imaging, procedure or treatment is discussed separately before it is arranged.
A private orthopaedic consultation usually takes 30–45 minutes, allowing time for your history, examination, explanation of the working diagnosis and treatment planning.
The One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic combines orthopaedic assessment and diagnostic MSK ultrasound of one relevant body area, with the clinical and imaging findings correlated and a personalised next-step plan explained.
The One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic appointment is 40 minutes.
The One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic costs £399 for the combined assessment and diagnostic MSK ultrasound pathway.
Yes. The One-Stop Orthopaedic Clinic is designed to combine clinical assessment with diagnostic MSK ultrasound in the same appointment when ultrasound is appropriate for the symptoms and body area.
MSK ultrasound can assess many tendons, superficial ligaments, muscles, bursae, joint effusions, cysts and other soft-tissue abnormalities. Its suitability depends on the body area and clinical question.
No. Ultrasound is excellent for many superficial soft tissues and dynamic assessment, but X-ray, MRI, CT or another specialist opinion may be more appropriate for bones, deep structures or certain joint problems.
Bring any previous imaging or reports, a current medication list and relevant medical information. A GP referral is not required, but an existing referral letter can still be helpful.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the painful area. You may be asked to remove jewellery or garments covering the body part being examined.
Yes. The clinic assesses many non-emergency sports injuries involving joints, muscles, tendons and superficial ligaments, and can advise whether ultrasound or another investigation is most suitable.
Yes. Orthopaedic assessment can help evaluate arthritic symptoms. Ultrasound may show features such as joint fluid, inflammation or associated tendon problems, although X-ray or MRI may sometimes be recommended.
An injection may be possible when it is clinically appropriate and there is enough time for assessment, informed consent and safety checks. It is not guaranteed, and treatment costs are separate unless explicitly included.
Depending on the diagnosis and clinical suitability, options may include corticosteroid, hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma injections. The clinician will explain benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
Ultrasound guidance is used when clinically appropriate to visualise the target and needle in real time and support accurate treatment delivery.
Yes. Regenerative medicine options such as PRP and BMAC can be discussed where clinically appropriate. Suitability depends on the condition, imaging findings, symptoms, medical history and treatment goals.
Yes. Relevant findings and next steps are explained, and a written clinical or imaging report can be provided for you to share with your GP, physiotherapist or another healthcare professional.
