Bigbury Orthopaedic Surgical Suite

 

In June 2024, Bigbury Orthopaedic Surgical Suite welcomed its first patients into the three dedicated elective orthopaedic theatres at Derriford Hospital. Located on level 2, this state-of-the-art facility is designed to support both complex and routine orthopaedic surgeries while providing an excellent teaching environment for orthopaedic trainees.

The opening of these three new theatres has increased the hospital's capacity for orthopaedic procedures, including hip and knee replacements. This expansion will enable surgeons to perform more surgeries daily, helping to reduce waiting times and greatly improve patient access to vital orthopaedic care.
