Lewisham Surgical Centre
Lewisham Surgical Centre (LSC) is our newest, state-of-the-art surgical site, which is driving down waiting times across southeast London.
The Centre opened in February 2026 and supports delivery of high-volume elective Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) procedures for patients across southeast London, alongside colleagues from other Trusts. ENT has one of the largest specialty waiting lists in the country, so the centre is a sorely needed development in our local healthcare.
LSC has at its heart two brand-new, modern operating theatres along with everything needed to deliver high-volume day case and short stay surgery. Many procedures are day cases, meaning that if you are treated at the Centre you may be discharged on the same day as your operation.

The National Surgical hub programme
Surgical hubs are an important part of plans to increase surgical capacity and offer hundreds of thousands more patients quicker access to some of the most common procedures.
Get It Right First Time (GIRFT), a national NHS programme, is running a scheme to accredit all hubs by the end of 2026, and we will work towards accreditation for Lewisham Surgical Centre during 2026.
