About this Event

Are you living with hip or knee pain and wondering what your options are?

Join us for a free, informal evening talk at HMT Sancta Maria Hospital, Swansea, where consultant orthopaedic hip and knee surgeon Mr Matthew Dodd will guide you through everything you need to know about managing joint pain — and understanding when joint replacement surgery might be the right step.

Whether you are dealing with osteoarthritis, a sports injury, or simply the wear and tear that comes with an active life, this is your opportunity to hear directly from a leading specialist in a relaxed, no-pressure setting.

What this talk will cover:

• Understanding hip and knee pain: causes, progression, and what to expect
• Non-surgical management options: physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, and pain relief strategies
• When to consider joint replacement — and what that process looks like
• Primary hip replacement and knee replacement, including partial knee replacement
• Questions and open discussion with Mr Dodd

This event is open to all. Whether you are experiencing symptoms yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn more, you are very welcome to attend.

Light refreshments will be available on the night.
