Three areas of specialist surgical care
To schedule a visit, you will need a referral from your GP detailing your diagnosis or clinical concern. If you are eligible for open-access endoscopy, your GP can book you directly for the procedure, skipping the initial consultation. For skin cancer surgery, we will always see you for a consultation first to review your referral.
Endoscopy
Diagnostic and screening procedures for gastrointestinal symptoms and bowel cancer risk, including open access endoscopy for eligible GP referrals.
Day Surgery
General day surgery for minor procedures, with same-day admission and discharge.
Skin Cancer Surgery
Surgical treatment of diagnosed skin cancers, from straightforward excisions to more complex reconstruction.
