Services focus on the management and treatment of abnormal structures of the body as a result of a variety of underlying causes, including tumors, disease and trauma.
Our unit also has a reputation for excellence in the treatment and management of non healing wounds.

There is 24 hour medical cover, with specialist on call to assess and perform emergency surgery.
