How long is the wait for a knee replacement at City Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs City Hospital, and it is the wait that applies to you here.
Updated June 2026 · (Referral to Treatment — the NHS wait-time framework)
This is how long 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for knee replacement on its own.
