The operating theatres are specially equipped for orthopaedic procedures, and incorporate technology originally developed right here at Wrightington.
On top of this, your consultant will be able to refer you to state-of-the-art, private diagnostics services including on-site X-Ray department and MRI Scanner. The John Charnley Wing
