Day case - During your stay
The operation or your condition will dictate the need of your consultants to visit. Set criteria will have been determined as to when you are considered suitable for discharge.
However if you wish to speak to your Consultant, about any concerns, the nursing staff can always contact them.
The consultant will dictate your plan of care and discharge criteria along with a follow up date.
The nursing staff and other multidisciplinary staff you see will assist in your day to day needs and complete the plan as prescribed. This will include lines of communication and any issues that you may experience when you go home such as the easy access to resting, hygiene and toilet facilities.
During your stay we ask you to report immediately any worries that you may have so that they can be rectified without delay. Both the floor staff and duty manager are available at all times.
You will be given advice on any wounds that you may have and may require an additional visit to have your wound checked or stitches removed.
A follow up appointment will be made for you, if applicable, and a short note to your GP about your stay in hospital.
