Perioperative Unit and Day Surgery

How we can help you

Most patients who are having planned elective surgery come through our Perioperative Unit on the day of their procedure. 'Perioperative' means around the time of surgery. 

If you are go home the same day or of if you are staying one night you will also return to the Perioperative Unit before going home. If you are staying longer than one night you will be transferred to one of our surgical wards.

For enquires about your surgical procedure, please speak with your referring specialist or surgeon.
