Weekly operating lists cover tonsillectomy, sinus surgery and grommet insertion for both children and adults. Where a procedure may affect hearing, an audiology assessment is carried out beforehand to set a baseline and again afterwards to confirm the result.
Paediatric lists are run separately from adult lists, with staff and timing suited to children and their parents. A consultation before surgery covers what to expect, how long recovery usually takes, and what follow-up will look like.
