About Bramshott Ward

Bramshott Ward is a 28-bed unit providing specialist care for patients undergoing planned orthopaedic surgery and those who have sustained traumatic injuries. We are committed to delivering evidence-based, patient-centred care that supports recovery and helps patients to regain mobility and independence.
 
Our services:

  • Planned (elective) orthopaedic surgery, including joint replacements.
  • Treatment for traumatic orthopaedic injuries admitted through the Emergency Department.
  • Fast Track joint replacement programme, using minimally invasive surgery for a quicker recovery.
  • Specialist ortho-geriatric care for patients with complex needs and frailty.
  • Early mobilisation support to promote faster post-operative recovery.

Your care team

We have a team of experienced healthcare professionals, including an ortho-geriatrician and other specialist consultants, resident doctors, specialist nurses, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals as needed.

Working collaboratively, we provide compassionate, round-the-clock care focused on promoting early mobilisation, recovery and independence so you can return home.
