Coming in as a Day Case patient
This information is intended to prepare you for a short stay within the hospital, for what to expect and for what you need to bring with you.
Some patients are admitted for a short stay, of two hours, for others it is much longer, on average four hours post surgery. It is always best to check with your Consultant.
As a day case you are likely to be admitted to our dedicated short stay unit. If your operation is planned for late in the day or there are any concerns about you requiring an overnight stay then an inpatient room may be allocated to you. Again we suggest you check with your Consultant prior to admission or speak to the nurse in charge of the floor when you arrive.
