Booking your procedure

After the consultation I shall write a detailed letter, to both you and your family doctor, explaining what was discussed at consultation. You will also receive an information pack from the hospital and a formal quotation for the proposed surgery.

There must be an initial “cooling off” period of 2 weeks from the date of consultation before you can undergo surgery. This period is important to allow you to consider what was said and to change your mind if necessary. Also, if you think of other questions which you would like to ask before making up your mind, you may arrange a second consultation which will be free of charge.

You may therefore either book a date for surgery at the end of the consultation, or you may prefer to wait for the information pack before deciding upon a date for surgery which is most convenient for yourself.
