At Oriel Surgery we provide an enhanced service called Minor Surgery.
This is not a core service that we are contracted to provide to our patients, rather, it is an additional service that we choose to offer to prevent our patients sitting on long waiting lists sometimes up to 2 years to have minor procedures and injections to alleviate their pain and discomfort.
We are very lucky to have 2 GP’s who can deliver this service. Many practices do not and their patients face lengthy delays waiting to be seen.
However from time to time, due to circumstances beyond our control, patients may have to wait longer than usual to have their procedure delivered. This rarely happens and we do know the patients that do avail of this excellent service appreciate the ease of getting seen quickly.
