Soft tissue surgeryOur soft tissue service is staffed by Anna Cronin, Laura Homer and Jon Hall, who work alongside a team of dedicated, experienced soft tissue nurses.

We accept referrals in all areas of soft tissue surgery, including laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. We work closely with colleagues in our internal medicine, diagnostic imaging and anaesthesia departments to ensure patients referred to us receive comprehensive clinical care.

At Wear Referrals, we are one of the very few centres in the north of England to be able to offer this genuinely multi-disciplinary approach, and we firmly believe that, due to the complex nature of many soft tissue cases, it enables us to offer the best standard of care for our patients.

Wear Referrals boasts extensive in-house diagnostic facilities, including a laboratory, endoscopy, CT, 1.5T MRI and in-theatre fluoroscopy with digital subtraction capability.
