For patients from Nottingham
Orthopaedic second opinion for Nottingham patients
If you live in Nottingham and want another view on an orthopaedic diagnosis, proposed operation or recovery, you can arrange a face-to-face review with Professor Paul Lee in Grantham or Sleaford.
Your orthopaedic second opinion
A clearer decision, wherever your care began
You may have a recommendation from an NHS or private consultant and want time to understand the alternatives. Or you may still have questions after treatment: why symptoms remain, what the next step involves, or whether another operation is the right direction.
The starting point is your question, rather than a commitment to a particular treatment. Bring the advice you have already received so Professor Lee can explain where his assessment agrees, where it differs and what information would help resolve uncertainty.

Before your appointment
Planning a visit from Nottingham
Our consultation venues are The Keep Clinic in Grantham and MSK House in Sleaford. This is a service for Nottingham patients; the appointment does not take place at a Nottingham clinic.
Before travelling, confirm the venue, appointment details and what records are needed. Let the team know if scans are held by a Nottingham hospital so they can explain what to request before the visit.

Questions to take into the room
- What is the reason for the proposed operation?
- Which alternatives are relevant to my goals?
- Would more information change the decision?
You will receive a written summary. You can discuss it with your current team; having a consultation does not commit you to treatment with us.

Before arranging your review
Do I need to change hospitals to get a second opinion?
A consultation does not commit you to transferring your care. You can take the written summary back to your current team and discuss the next step with them.
Is the appointment in Nottingham?
No. Face-to-face appointments are at The Keep Clinic in Grantham or MSK House in Sleaford. Confirm your venue before travelling.
