Minor Surgical Procedures

The surgery offers a range of minor surgical procedures performed by experienced GPs in a safe, fully equipped treatment room. Procedures are typically completed under local anaesthetic, providing convenient, timely care without the need for hospital referral where appropriate.

Please note that not all procedures are suitable for general practice, and some may incur private fees. Your GP will assess your needs and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you.
