Lewisham Surgical Centre

Lewisham Surgical Centre entrance

Lewisham Surgical Centre (LSC) is our newest, state-of-the-art surgical site, which is driving down waiting times across south east London.

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust will soon be delivering over 5,000 Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) procedures a year for all of south east London at the new Centre, alongside colleagues from other Trusts. 

LSC has at its heart two brand-new, modern operating theatres along with everything needed to deliver a high volume of procedures per day. All procedures will be day cases meaning that, if you are treated at the Centre, you'll be discharged on the same day as your operation.

ENT has one of the largest specialty waiting lists in the country, so the centre is a sorely needed development in our local healthcare.

Facts at a glance

Lewisham Surgical Centre:

  • Covers over 860 square metres – that’s over two and a half full-sized basketball courts!
  • Sits on the foundations of the Victorian-era hospital that once stood here – it will use the same footings, low walls and undercroft.
  • Is the product of a £13.5 million investment into tackling the backlog in planned ENT care.
