Why we choose local anaesthetic first
Unlike most surgical providers who default to general anaesthesia, Independent Health Group specialises in local anaesthetic surgery. This isn’t a compromise, it’s a better approach for the right patients.
Safer
Local anaesthetic significantly reduces the risks associated with general anaesthesia. No grogginess, and fewer complications. Your safety is always our priority.
Faster
Without general anaesthesia, there's no lengthy recovery period. Most patients are home within hours of their procedure and back to normal activities much sooner.
Better value
Our streamlined, efficient process means we can offer competitive pricing for private patients and shorter waiting times for NHS patients. Quality care shouldn't cost more.
Patient safety always comes first. If you’re not suitable for local anaesthetic surgery following your assessment, we’ll ensure you’re supported to access the right care through our trusted partner providers.
