The soft tissue referral service has a dedicated operating theatre. Our operating theatre is comprehensively equipped for anaesthesia and patient monitoring.

Routine surgeries carried out include thoracic and abdominal surgery, as well as ear, nose and throat plus oncologic and reconstruction surgery.

Surgical cases are seen early in the morning to allow time for any investigation to be carried out prior to surgery. Surgery will often be carried out the same day. This then means that patients can be closely monitored post-operatively, during the rest of the day by our highly-trained nurses.

Please phone for further information, if it's not on the list, it doesn't mean we don't do it!
