Fractures and Urgent Care

The London Orthopaedic Clinic understands that accidents & injuries occur after the normal working hours of 9-5. It’s extremely difficult to get an appointment with a medical professional after hours and the waiting time in most Accident and Emergency departments can be considerable lengthy.

By calling 020 7186 1000 will instantly connect you with one of our on call consultants. They will be able to assess your condition over the phone and/or admit you to one of our linked hospitals for treatment by a orthopaedic surgeon.

If you do not need immediate treatment our consultants will advise you on immediate care to ease your condition and will ask you to book into a clinic with a consultant during the week.

If you feel your condition can wait and be seen in office hours then please call 020 7186 1000 between 8am-6pm and we will endeavour to get you seen by the most appropriate consultant for your problem.

Costs

The cost of a call out fee can vary depending on the time spent with the consultant, travel time and of course whether it is on a Saturday or Sunday. Our consultant will inform you of the charge. It is always recommended to contact your medical insurer regarding cover for the after hours urgent care service. You will usually need to be referred by your GP or a medical professional if you wish for your insurer to cover the costs.

Your payment details will be taken on consultation and you/your insurer will be sent an invoice accordingly.
