đ¨ Abstract
TV doctor Hilary Jones traveled 360 miles for a hip replacement to bypass his local NHS waiting list. He used NHS Patient Choice to opt for a private hospital in Birmingham with minimal waiting times. Jones encourages others to consider this option if they can travel. The NHS App and GPs can help patients explore their choices. A poll showed many adults would travel long distances for quicker NHS surgeries. Last year, a significant number of Brits chose private healthcare due to long NHS wait times.
