How long is the wait for a knee replacement at Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Royal Devon & Exeter 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.
