Going Home

You will be advised by your consultant or your nurse how long you will need to stay in hospital for. Discharge time is 11am on the day of your departure. Please be
advised that you should not drive your car for at least 24 hours after surgery (or for a longer period if your Consultant says otherwise). We strongly recommend that you ask a friend or relative to collect you. Alternatively, we can arrange a taxi or Private Ambulance for you at your own expense.

If you need to take any medication following your departure, this will be given to you when you leave and will be charged to you personally. Please ask for any X-rays or other imaging taken during your stay and bring these with you for any further outpatient consultations.

If you need to see your consultant again following your discharge, an outpatient appointment will be made before you leave or you will be notified of your
appointment as soon as possible after your discharge. Following your discharge, if you have any concerns or questions or are in need of advice, please telephone the Hospital and speak to the Duty Sister.
