When you are at home

Have you organised someone to take you home?

Before you leave us, please organise for someone to stay with you for the remainder of the day and overnight. This is your 'recovery time' and we recommend you rest as if you were still remaining in hospital.

Do you have your post-surgery instructions?

Your doctor is required to provide you with post-surgery instructions to follow, please ensure you have received these prior to leaving hospital.

Have you picked up any medication(s) you may need?

You may be required to take medication(s) after your procedure, please ensure you have picked these up prior to your arrival home.

Can you readily get in touch with your surgeon?

Please ensure you are able to readily get in touch with your surgeon should you notice any post-surgery issues occurring at home.
