Each patient will receive a personal experience based on their individual requirements.
On your surgery day please present at the ParkView Day Surgery reception desk and one of our friendly reception staff will assist you.
You will not be able to drive home from your procedure. You will need to arrange for a friend or family member to attend with you or collect you after your procedure. For procedures involving twilight sedation, you will be required to have a responsible adult with you for the next 24 hours.
At least 10 days prior to your surgery date, you must complete the appropriate Patient Pre-admission form.
Each patient’s recovery will be different depending on the surgery undertaken and how you are feeling in the days following. You will be provided with clear post-operative instructions before being discharged from the hospital. In many cases, we usually recommended that at a minimum you take 1-2 days after the surgery day to recover. For many procedures this includes, but is not limited to:
With guidance from your surgeon, it's common to be able to return to most normal activities when you feel comfortable doing so, including activities such as watching TV, reading and writing, and moderate exercise.
You will be advised on various common symptoms that you may experience in the early stages of your recovery. This is nothing to worry about and should resolve after a matter of days.
Attending your follow up appointments are essential for your ongoing care and management of any of these symptoms.
As I am sure you are aware, very occasionally the medical professionals at ParkView Day Surgery are called to see urgent cases. If this occurs, you will be notified as soon as possible, and your appointment will be rescheduled at a time that suits you and we apologise for the inconvenience in advance.
We also understand that occasionally you have a change in your schedule and will need to change your appointment. If this happens, please contact a member of our reception staff to let us know and to help you make alternative arrangements.
