Preadmission

Once you have made a decision to proceed with surgery and have booked a date for surgery, you will be sent an information pack by the hospital.

You may need to have blood tests done and possibly a chest Xray or trace of your heart (ECG). You will be given an appointment to attend the hospital for this in the days/weeks leading up to your operation.

The cost of your surgery should be paid in full (and cleared) before the morning of surgery.

You should attend the hospital at the specified time on the day of surgery.
