Minor Operations

Once seen by your doctor about a suitable problem they may suggest a minor operation at site rather than send you to the hospital. Minor operations are carried out by one of our doctors across our 5 sites within Wyre Forest Health Partnership. They were paused during the pandemic but we are restarting these once again, and plan to hold clinics twice a month at Bewdley Medical Centre and Kidderminster Medical Centre. Patients who require a minor surgery will be added to a waiting list and contacted by our central booking team.

The list of the minor operations we run are the following –

  • Ingrown toenails
  • Excisions
  • Seb Keratosis
  • Skin lesions (including skin tags causing irritation)
  • Mole Removal
  • Chalazions
  • Lipomas
  • Cysts
  • Punch Biopsy
  • Dermatofibroma
  • Pyogenic Granulomas
  • Shave Excisions
  • Skin tags around eye

Child Health

The practice offers a full programme of health checks and general health and wellbeing advice for children up to the age of 5. Children are offered an appointment for a health and development check at 8 weeks alongside their immunisations appointment, carried out by one of the GP’s or Advanced Nurse Practitioners at the surgery with the support of practice nursing team. Health visitors also offer a wealth of advice and support for the health and development of the newborn up to age of 5 years and hold regular baby clinics and other groups such as feeding support groups throughout the week.
