Minor Surgery Service

Our practice offers an in-house Minor Surgery Service for specific, non-complex procedures.

Procedures Offered

This service primarily covers:

  • Removal of common, small skin tags and other minor skin lesions.
  • Steroid (Corticosteroid) injections into joints (e.g., knee, shoulder) to help reduce pain and inflammation.

Before Being Booked

All patients must first have a consultation with a GP to:

  • Discuss the indication for the procedure.
  • Review the potential benefits and risks.
  • Ensure you understand any possible complications.
  • Confirm your suitability for treatment in the practice setting.

Waiting List

Due to high demand, there may be a 4-8 week waiting list once you have been placed onto the list following your initial GP consultation. We appreciate your patience and will contact you directly to book your appointment when a slot becomes available.
