Have your say: what matters most in hip replacement surgery?

  • January 16th 2026

The HIPPY Programme is running a short survey to understand what people value most and what they expect from hip replacement surgery. If you live in the UK and have had, or are waiting for, a hip replacement – then we’d like to hear from you.

About the survey

The HIPPY Programme (NIHR Programme Grant), now adopted by NIHR Exeter BRC and PenARC, is inviting people to take part in a survey about hip replacement surgery.

We want to understand what matters most to people and what they expect from their hip replacement. Your responses will help researchers and clinicians better shape care and outcomes around patients’ priorities.

Who can take part?

You can take part if you:

  • Live in the UK, and

  • Have had a hip replacement, or are planning to have a hip replacement, and

  • Need/needed your hip replaced due to daily pain (not because of an accident or a broken hip)

Help us reach more people

We would be grateful if you could share this survey with your networks, community groups, and anyone who may be eligible to take part—so we can hear from people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

If you have any questions about the survey or sharing it through patient/public networks, please contact: Professor Elsa M R Marques at E.Marques@exeter.ac.uk.
