Due to increasing stress on the NHS, waiting times are at an all-time high. As of the start of 2022 it is estimated that six million people are on a waiting list for NHS treatment – one in nine of the population.
If injuries are not treated promptly, there is a risk of them becoming worse and longer lasting. The sooner your condition is diagnosed and treated, the faster and more effective your recovery will be. Speed to treatment also ensures you can return to work and recreational activities as soon as possible and helps reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence.
