Mr Mark Tomlinson

Mark Tomlinson is a leading General, Endocrine & Vascular surgeon providing private and some 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 then returned to the North-West. Mark provides minimally invasive private procedures and surgery for common surgical problems (gallstones, hernias, varicose veins, skin lumps, cysts & lipomas) in addition to providing Specialist Endocrine surgery for thyroid, parathyroid & adrenal conditions requiring removal of these glands. He also performs emergency NHS General surgery and provided NHS complex major arterial planned and emergency surgery for 10 years until regional services were reconfigured in 2015. 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. For this reason a consultation fee range is provided as complex or specialist clinical or patient factors demand more expert assessment and time 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 required or preferred. Examples include ultrasound guided varicose vein procedures, laparoscopic abdominal surgery, minor dermatological surgery for cysts, lumps, tags etc and more complex or specialist Thyroid, Parathyroid or Adrenal procedures are available if appropriate, though not at all sites. 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 - and has presented internationally at British Association of Thyroid & Endocrine Surgeons meetings. He has served on several Royal College and Health Education England committees in the North West, provided Clinical Leadership, Management, Education, Training and RCS England roles as Training Program Director for Core Surgery in the NorthWest and RCS Surgical Tutor within his Trust.
