Treatment Rooms:
Our two treatment rooms were specifically designed to enable minor surgical procedures to be undertaken. The rooms are modern and have the latest design in treatment room beds and lights.
All equipment is sterilised by our trained nurses on-site using a system called Meditrax. This ensures that adequate sterilisation temperatures have been achieved with every cycle. Each operation is recorded in the patient notes with the tag number of the equipment used.
