Four Years On: How Far TSS Has Come
As we approach the four-year anniversary of our new hospital, it is a proud moment to reflect on how far Tyneside Surgical Services has come, and the impact it continues to make across the North East.
Founded in 2007 by senior NHS clinicians, TSS was built on a clear vision: to deliver outstanding patient care with compassion, efficiency and clinical excellence. As demand for both NHS and private services grew, the opening of our purpose-built, state-of-the-art hospital on Team Valley marked a defining milestone in our journey.
Designed around patients, the hospital offers modern theatres, advanced diagnostics and dedicated recovery areas, creating a calm, safe and supportive environment at every stage of care. Its location just off the A1, with free parking and excellent accessibility, ensures a smooth and stress-free patient experience.
Over the past four years, our expert team of over 80 consultant surgeons and anaesthetists has treated thousands of patients each year across a wide range of specialties. Patient satisfaction remains exceptionally high, with 99.5% recommending our service.
Alongside supporting local NHS Trusts and helping to reduce waiting times, we have also made private care more transparent and affordable through clear, online pricing.
Four years on, we are proud of what we have achieved and remain committed to growing, innovating and improving access to high-quality care for our region.
