Guest guest Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 I had BHR under the NHS by Mr Treacy. He does quite a lot of NHS work.You can wait anything between a few months and a year or so from seeing an OS to having the operation. Re: Hip Resurface Hi , I am not 100% sure but if you have retained your English citizenship aren't you covered by the UK's National Health coverage? I have Portugese citezenship and I was told that I could recieve coverage in Belgium if I had a E112 form which is health care for EU residents living abroad who want to be treated in the EU. The form is easy enough to get if you have an EU passport. I'm not sure what the policy in England is or if resurfacing would be covered under National Health care at all, does anyone else know? izumi > Hi to all who have undergone surgery, or who are planning to have > resufacing.
