The team behind brand new surgical theatres on the Team Valley Trading Estate are hoping their state-of-the-art new premises will help the NHS bring down massive waiting lists and make it easier for patients across the North East to get vital treatments.
The Tyneside Surgical Services group has provided NHS procedures since 2007 - previously working out of otherwise unused theatre space in local hospitals and from bases at health centres across the region.
But it has recently opened a brand new surgical suite on the Team Valley Trading Estate featuring three flexible spaces including one theatre, along with adaptable endoscopy and pain management facilities which can be transformed into additional space to carry out day-case surgery.
