City and Hackney Community Minor Surgery

The service provides a one-stop community minor surgery pathway for patients registered to City and Hackney GP practices from assessment to treatment. The clinician is required to have minor surgery qualification/experience in this field.

The service includes:

1. Invasive procedures including incisions and excisions in line with the national Directed Enhanced Service (DES)
2. Cryotherapy/cautery for those GP practices that have opted out of the GMS/PMS minor surgery additional service

Procedures include treatments for the following: capsulitiis, bursitits, entheosopathies/tendritis, tenosynovitis, compression, pigmented and vascular lesions, where histology is required, lesions with atypical behaviour/asymptomatic/inflamed, epidermoid cysts, keratocanthoma, surgical drainage of abscesses and hamatomas, lower-risk basal cell carcinomas.

We are not required to actively invite anyone to express interest but rather seek to notify the market of the intention.
