Your inpatient stay Your stay in hospital
You may need to stay at one of our hospitals to have a procedure or receive treatment, either overnight as an inpatient or during the day as a day patient. Ahead of your inpatient stay, you will usually need to attend a pre-operative assessment appointment.
Find out more about how you can reschedule or cancel your inpatient stay, pre-operative assessments, what to bring with you when you come to hospital and much more.
The cardiac team were so caring and knowledgeable and explained everything to us in detail so we understood the procedures Mum was having. The staff in intensive care were truly amazing with aftercare until she was well enough to go to the ward, so thank you so much for your excellent teamwork.
