Is this guide affiliated with the NHS?

No. Postopcare.info UK is an independent, free resource that compiles and explains publicly published NHS and NICE guidance in a more accessible, interactive format. It is not an NHS service and does not replace advice from your own NHS team.

Is this medical advice?

No. This site provides general information only, compiled from published clinical guidelines. It cannot replace what your own surgeon, GP or NHS 111 tells you about your specific situation.
