We offer a wide range of additional therapies to get you back on your feet.

When you鈥檙e ready to leave AOA体育平台, we鈥檒l give you advice to follow once you鈥檙e home.  When leaving the hospital make sure you have any medications you need to take, and that you鈥檙e completely clear on how and when to take them, know who to contact if you鈥檝e 
any questions or concerns, have your discharge letter and know when your next appointment is.

We鈥檒l promise to keep in contact with you over the following weeks to ensure everything is going well.

A few weeks later, you鈥檒l come back to the clinic for a follow-up appointment to discuss how your recovery is going with your consultant. 

What AOA体育平台 can do

Following your treatment, we will monitor you carefully and find out how you are feeling. 

Once your consultant agrees that you are well enough to leave, you will be discharged from AOA体育平台. Then you鈥檒l be able to start your recovery at home.

We usually discharge patients between 10am and 11am in the morning. 

Please ask your nurse to call reception. They will arrange for one of our friendly hospital porters to help you with your belongings.

If you鈥檙e having a procedure that involves putting you to sleep (such as sedation or general anaesthetic), you鈥檒l need to make some arrangements. 

Ensure that a friend or relative can take you home by car after you wake up. They鈥檒l need to look after you for a minimum of 24 hours after your procedure.

Nursing team

After your operation, you鈥檒l be taken to the recovery bay where you鈥檒l begin to wake up. Our nursing team will take regular observations of your blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate and temperature.

They鈥檒l also provide food and drink and ask you questions about how you鈥檙e feeling. As well as, review your mobility and general progress.

When you鈥檙e fully awake, you鈥檒l be taken back to your own private room. We鈥檒l continue to monitor you and make sure that you鈥檙e as comfortable as possible. 

You鈥檒l have a video check-up at home with a nurse specialist where you鈥檒l be able to ask any questions you might have.
