How long is the wait for a knee replacement at King's College Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which runs King's College Hospital, and it is the wait that applies to you here.

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.
