The average patient stay is approximately 3-4 hours depending on your procedure.
Although some level of discomfort following your procedure is to be expected, please don’t hesitate to address any concerns or ask any questions of our staff before your discharge. If you are unsure of anything, please ask.
We offer patients light refreshments before leaving the hospital. Following anaesthesia, you should be accompanied home by your carer who should stay with you on the night after your surgery. We recommend that travel back home by private car or taxi, not on public transport.
You will be given post-surgery instruction information on discharge and will receive a courtesy phone call from our nursing staff the following day or shortly thereafter to check on your recovery progress.
If you are staying overnight after your procedure please bring a small overnight bag containing your toiletries, pyjamas, slippers and other personal effects such as a CPAP machine or walking frame.
The Hospital has four generous sized single rooms with ensuites. Our 23 hour licence allows patients to stay in hospital for their post-op night, and then be discharged in the morning.
Visiting hours are from 12noon – 2pm and 6pm – 8pm. Discharge time is 8am. After hours access to the Hospital is via the Albert Ave forecourt entrance intercom.
Enjoy Dietician approved nutritional meals tailored to your individual dietary requirements. Should you have any specific requirements or allergies, please let our nursing staff know in advance so that they may cater to your needs.
Our rooms have ceiling-mounted televisions and comfortable electric operated beds. In-room telephones and wireless internet is available free of charge.
Local calls are free. Phone cards are available for purchase for STD and mobile calls, otherwise mobile phones are permitted in your room.
