The new Short Stay Procedure Unit has updated and expanded the day surgery facilities and responds to the expectations of our patients, doctors, staff and visitors. It allows us to deliver new day surgery facilities that will set the benchmark in the patient pre-operative experience. With greater space and ambience, new patient amenities improve not only comfort and privacy, but have an impact on how patients fill their time waiting for their procedure, in line with modern expectations and requirements.
Key features of the redevelopment are:
- A large pre-operative waiting area, providing improved patient privacy and comfort
- A larger contemporary postoperative environment in the patient recovery area
- Four pre-anaesthetic consulting rooms located within the suite
- A post-operative consulting room enabling private conversations to be held with patients and their families
- The ability to better meet the special health needs of selected patients
- Complimentary wifi enabling patients to use their smart devices or laptops while waiting for surgery
