When you Leave
You will be advised by your consultant or your nurse when you
are able to go home and will be given any post treatment medication
to take away with you.
If you are undergoing general anaesthetic, please ensure that a
friend or relative collects and accompanies you home. If you are
unable to arrange this, please inform reception who will arrange
transport for you.
Please be aware that you must not drive a car, ride a bicycle,
operate machinery or drink alcohol 24 hours after anaesthetic.
Follow up care
If you need to see your consultant again following your
discharge, an out-patient appointment will be made before you leave
or you will be notified of your appointment as soon as possible
after your discharge.
Following you discharge if you have any concerns, questions or
are in need of advice please telephone the hospital and speak to
the senior nurse on duty.
