Mount Stuart Hospital commenced their cosmetic surgery service to islanders of Guernsey in January with an extremely successful launch event.  The hospital has developed a partnership with the Centre for Modern Medicine, a subsidiary of the Medical Specialist Group on the island, to provide services that are currently not offered locally. This initiative by the Centre for Modern Medicine is designed to reduce both the cost and the inconvenience for local patients who previously had to travel as far afield as South Africa for cosmetic surgery.

Mr David Oliver, Consultant Plastic Surgeon has worked at Mount Stuart Hospital for seven years and will be providing monthly clinics for consultations on the island, with surgery then taking place in Torquay.  Already the clinics are proving highly successful and to date 40 patients have received consultations, with 5 patients having progressed to surgery.

Feedback from patients has been excellent with one lady offering to be a “Patient Ambassador” on the island and talk to any other people potentially interested in surgery, so that she can share her positive experience.  The partnership with Ramsay Health care and Mount Stuart Hospital has meant that patients now have support throughout their patient pathway and importantly post-operatively on the island.  The successful relationship has also uncovered other business opportunities which are all being progressed by the Senior Management Team at Mount Stuart Hospital with potential opportunities for Ramsay Health care nationally.

David Oliver uses only the highest quality breast implants and therefore none of  his patients have been affected by the PIP implant situation.

Following stories in the media recently concerning a French manufacturer (“PIP”) of breast implants and a possible link to cancer, if women are concerned they should contact the surgeon who carried out their operation.

The links below offer further information.

A recent patient experience:

"Upon finding out that I had PIP implants I decided that I wanted them removed as soon as possible.

By coincidence, Mr David Oliver from the Ramsay Health Care Group was coming to Guernsey so I made an appointment to see him, and after meeting him and his team I had no hesitation in booking my operation which was made very quickly from my initial meeting with them.

I flew from Guernsey to Exeter on Friday which is only a 30 minute flight away, so no long train journeys, I was met by a private car and driven to the Mount Stuart Hospital in Torquay where I was given premium care, and was looked after by all staff to a very high standard. I had an en-suite room which was very private and all nursing staff was kind and thoughtful.

 I had my operation on Saturday morning and then flew back to Guernsey on Sunday afternoon.

Having the back up of aftercare at the MSG group in Guernsey is very reassuring as most clinics in the UK do not have this.

I would not hesitate in recommending Mr Oliver and his staff for any cosmetic procedures and thank them all for their genuine and professional care at all times from the first meeting to the post op appointment."
