Private GP & Medical Care
🩺 Specialist orthopaedic & limb reconstruction — the Nuffield limb-reconstruction pathway
Oxford is home to nationally recognised limb-reconstruction and bone-infection services at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, including the NHS Bone Infection Unit — one of the few dedicated units of its kind in the UK — and its private arm, the Oxford Limb Reconstruction and Infection Clinic (OLRIC), a specialist multidisciplinary team for complex bone injuries, poly-trauma, bone infection and limb reconstruction. For complex limb and poly-trauma cases it’s an excellent route to specialist review, and we coordinate home-based rehabilitation around it for shared and case-managed clients. More on this on our case-manager service page.
