What Aberdeen Orthopaedics does

Aberdeen Orthopaedics (legally Aberdeen Orthopaedic Network) is a partnership of 16 consultant orthopaedic surgeons operating as Scotland's largest private specialist network for musculoskeletal conditions. The firm delivers the full spectrum of orthopaedic care — joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), sports injury surgery, spinal surgery, hand and wrist procedures, and foot and ankle surgery — primarily through The Albyn Hospital (Circle Healthcare Group) and Woodend Hospital in Aberdeen, with consultants also holding senior positions at NHS Grampian and the University of Aberdeen Medical School. Technology inputs include the Stryker MAKO robotic-arm-assisted platform for hip and knee replacement and Conformis custom-fit knee implants manufactured from individual patient CT scans, with reported satisfaction rates up to 95% versus 80% for traditional knee replacement.

The business model is professional services fee-for-service. Initial in-person consultations are priced at £240-£260 and telemedicine consultations from approximately £165. Surgical procedures (hospital, surgeon, anaesthetist fees) and diagnostic imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT, ultrasound) are billed separately, with the firm invoicing surgical fees through Trust Health Ltd. Direct billing is established with major UK private medical insurers including BUPA, AXA, Aviva, and Vitality, though patients remain liable for any policy shortfalls. The practice currently accepts direct patient enquiries without requiring a GP letter and runs an online referral system for clinicians.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led through direct patient enquiries, GP and physiotherapist referrals, and content marketing via the Ortho-Insights blog and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram). The partnership is independently owned with no parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no M&A activity. Service expansion is evidenced by adoption of robotic-assisted surgery and custom-fit implants, telemedicine rollout, and removal of the GP-referral gate. No patents, AI/ML systems, or proprietary software products are disclosed.
