Some of Zimmer's joint replacement products are also recognised to have the some of the best clinical success, demonstrated in multiple National Joint Registers, including the National Joint Register of England and Wales, the Swedish Arthoplasty register and the Australian Arthroplasty Register.
Patient choice
Surveys carried out for NHS show that:
- two out of three patients (65%) using Choose and Book were able to go to the hospital they wanted (25% said they had no preference);
- one in three patients using Choose and Book said that they used their own experience or that of friends and family to choose their hospital rather than simply rely on their GP’s advice.
