Elective Admissions Lounge
Surgical
Ward details
The elective admissions lounge is a pre-operative area where
patients are admitted and prepared for their operation on the day
of the surgery.
Your surgeon and anaesthetist will come and see you and answer
any questions you may have about your surgery, pain relief, the
risks and benefits of the planned procedure and signing your
consent form.
A nurse escorts patients from the lounge to the operating
theatre. Following their operation, patients go to a
post-operative ward to recover.
