Please arrive at your appointed time. On arrival you will be greeted by reception staff that will complete your clerical admission. A nurse will then complete your clinical admission and answer any further questions you might have.
Once this is completed and if you are having a general anaesthetic, you will be asked to change into a theatre gown, placing all your possessions into a secured locker. An anesthetist will then assess you prior to being escorted to theatre for your surgery. If you are having a local anaesthetic for your procedure, you may remain in your own clothing.
Every effort will be made to ensure your waiting time is kept to a minimum, however magazines, newspapers and a TV is available.
