Mr Mark Tomlinson

Mark Tomlinson is a leading General, Endocrine & Vascular surgeon providing private and NHS Consultations and procedures for an area covering predominantly North & West Lancashire, South Cumbria & West Yorkshire. View his website http//marktomlinson-surgeon.co.uk for more information. Mark has been a Consultant Surgeon since 2005, having trained in major London centres, and in addition to providing Specialist surgery also provides more common General & Laparoscopic surgical expertise, & emergency NHS services too. He also provided major arterial surgery for 10years until regional services were reconfigured in 2015.  Mark has introduced several "keyhole" surgical procedures to the region including endovenous radiofrequency ablation of varicose veins, minimally invasive Thyroid & Parathyroid surgery, laparoscopic adrenal surgery, and day case thyroid surgery - which he has presented on at the national British Association of Thyroid & Endocrine Surgeons meeting (2018) and BAETS webinar in 2021 He has served on several regional & Royal College surgical committees in the North West, provided Clinical Leadership, Educational roles and RCS England roles both regionally as Training Program Director for Core Surgical Training in the NorthWest, as RCS Surgical Tutor within his local Trust, and as a Clinical & Educational Supervisor. Mark aims to offer high quality, professional, private Consultations at independent clinic and hospital facilities for a range of common surgical problems, and for some more Specialist or complex conditions and procedures where hospital facilities permit.  Consultations provide clear and understandable advice to patients regarding their problems, conditions and potential treatment solutions - whether surgical or medical. When procedures or surgery are proposed, modern, innovative, minimally invasive techniques are used where possible to ensure rapid recovery, early mobility and return to work, whilst minimizing scars and procedural risks, thus providing excellent outcomes. Most procedures are outpatient or day surgery procedures, and available under local anaesthesia unless a full general anaesthetic is either required or preferred. Examples include ultrasound guided varicose vein procedures, laparoscopic abdominal surgery for hernias and gallstones, minor dermatological surgery for cysts, lumps, tags etc and injection treatments for thread veins and excessive sweating. More complex or specialist Thyroid, Parathyroid or Adrenal procedures are available if appropriate, though not at all sites.
