Cold weather and NHS delays are boosting injury risks, driving surge in private knee/hip replacement searches.
A UK private medical group warns that cold weather and long NHS waiting lists—some exceeding 78 weeks for knee and hip replacements—are increasing injury risks.
Google search data from Dec 2024 to Nov 2025 shows London had the highest monthly demand, with 47,310 knee and 25,080 hip replacement searches, totaling 370,440 nationally.
Experts link delays to unresolved pandemic impacts and caution that icy conditions raise fall risks, urging preventive steps like wearing sturdy shoes and using cleared paths.
The high search volume suggests growing public demand for private care.
