You can see Mr Harley as an NHS patient at North Downs Hospital (Caterham), Cobham Day Surgery, Epsom Old Cottage Hospital, The Horder Centre (Crowborough) and KIMS (Maidstone). Outpatient appointments and all surgery are carried out by Mr Harley in person. Referrals must be made by your GP preferably using the eRS (Electronic referral system) – eRS may not show the names of specialists so this has to be done by searching for specialism (‘hand surgery’) and hospital – ask your GP to add Mr Harley’s name to the referral notes or letter.

tattoo removal for cabin crew
cabin crew and many other professions may not be allowed to display tattoos – small tattoos can be easily removed with awake surgery at a single hospital visit. an increasing number of patients are choosing to have surgery because it predictably removes all trace of the tattoo and this is done at a single visit (laser treatment typically requires multiple sessions and leaves a trace of the tattoo). if you can easily gather the whole tattoo in a pinch of skin then it should be possible to remove it surgically.
slightly larger tattoos may require more than one operation to remove. very large tattoos, eg whole of shoulder / deltoid or all the way around the arm are unlikely to be amenable for surgical excision. skin grafting is an option for larger tattoos but this leaves significant scars.
Cosmetic surgery at KIMS
I ran a busy cosmetic surgery / womens health open morning at KIMS Hospital in Maidstone last saturday. abdominoplasty, breast enlargement, breast reduction, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and mole removal cases.
look out for further events or book an outpatient appointment. Wednesdays and Fridays available.
Summer Holiday Surgery
Early during the summer holidays is a convenient time for many people to have surgery especially teachers and parents of school children.
It often takes a month or two to fix a surgical date after your consultation so it is worth thinking about scheduling your consultation during may or june.
If you are planning to travel abroad for summer holidays, it is advisable to have any surgery completed several weeks before going away.
