From the NHS Jubilee today

NHS Golden Jubilee has officially become the largest centre for hip and knee replacements in the United Kingdom, marking a major milestone in the delivery of orthopaedic care across NHS Scotland.

In the period from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025, NHS Golden Jubilee performed 4,308 hip and knee replacements, surpassing all other UK centres in Britain during that period, according to official data from the National Joint Registry (NJR).

This represented a 29.6% increase in procedures compared to the previous year (3,323 in 2023/24), reflecting the hospital’s commitment to expanding capacity and reducing NHS waiting times.

Numbers are increasing again this year as NHS Golden Jubilee is currently on track to deliver more than 5,900 hip and knee replacements for 2025/26 (1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026) – around 1,600 more the previous year.

I’ve been to the Golden Jubilee twice – quickly shown where the toilets were without me even having to ask just based on the look on my face!

Oh aye, who did the clapping? That old recovering media prof that looks like he might need a knee and a hip soon.

The ‘Scottish’ media will want to cover this. Well, just the Clydebank Post so far.
