What patients may need to know about the daily routine on the ward |
Patients will be transported to the Day Hospital by ambulance anytime between 9am-11am and discharged from 2pm onwards. Patients can come in under their own transport if preferred. Depending on treatment requirements not all patients are required to remain all day, some only need to attend for a procedure which may take 30 mins - in this instance own transport would be more appropriate. The healthcare team will be in a meeting with the consultant every alternative Tuesday morning. |
