Plastic Surgery
Overview
The aim of the Plastic Surgery department is to provide clinical excellence in the field of paediatric plastic and reconstructive surgery.
We are able to treat a wide range of problems that are present at birth (congenital) or developed in childhood. Children who need plastic or reconstructive surgery are seen as outpatients, day-case patients or inpatients.
The department works closely with other clinical specialties to provide multidisciplinary care for children with a variety of healthcare problems.
