Plastic Surgery Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Our Understanding of
Plastic Surgery
Plastic Surgery is a diverse specialty that covers both reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, ranging from complex microsurgery to day-case skin lesion excisions. Within the NHS, Plastic Surgery demand continues to rise, particularly in areas such as skin cancer management, hand surgery, trauma reconstruction, and elective procedures to restore function or appearance.
Backlogs in Plastic Surgery can have significant impacts on patients’ physical and psychological wellbeing.
Delayed access to treatment can increase complexity, extend recovery times, and reduce patient quality of life. NCI recognises that Plastic Surgery requires not only surgical precision but also a holistic, patient-centred approach that balances function, appearance, and overall wellbeing.
