A safe relaxed place to have your procedure.

Most people are at the centre for about half a day. Your surgeon will tell you what to expect for your procedure.

• 01

  Admission

  You are greeted at reception and guided to the admission area. A member of the admissions team explains what happens next.

• 02

  Theatre

  Your surgeon and the anaesthetic team are with you in theatre for the procedure itself.

• 03

  Recovery

  You move to the recovery area, where the recovery room team looks after you until you are ready for discharge.

• 04

  Home

  You go home the same day, once the nurse is satisfied you are ready to leave.

• Intravenous sedation

  Also called twilight sedation. You stay deeply relaxed and breathing on your own, and most people remember very little.

• Target controlled infusion

  An advanced form of intravenous sedation. A pump holds the sedative at a steady level and adjusts it as your procedure goes on.

  Your anaesthetic →

• General anaesthetic

  You are completely asleep for the procedure. You may go home the same day or stay overnight, depending on it.

Sedation and general anaesthesia at the centre are given and monitored by a specialist anaesthetist. Whichever option you have, your surgeon also numbs the surgical area with local anaesthetic.

• The theatres

  The centre is purpose-built for day surgery. The operating theatres hold modern surgical and anaesthetic equipment.

• The team with you

  Your surgeon works alongside a specialist anaesthetist and registered nurses. You are monitored continuously through the procedure on hospital-grade equipment.

• The recovery suite

  After your procedure you move to the recovery suite. The nursing team monitors you there until you are ready for discharge.
