Preparing For Your Visit

Being admitted to hospital can feel overwhelming for some, but our dedicated team is here to make your stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. With compassionate nursing care and well-equipped facilities, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality treatment and support.

Pre-Operative Assessment

Most people being admitted as an inpatient will require a pre-operative assessment, normally several days before admission day.

You can complete your pre-operative questionnaire online, using the secure LifeBox app.

Further information is available within an account set up for you, gving easy access to medical images, procedural information and more.

Travelling & Parking

Our hospital is near the centre of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. There is free, dedicated patient parking at the front of the hospital.

Please be aware that if you are undergoing a general anaesthetic, or sedation, you should not drive for 24 hours aftewards.

Arrival & Admission

Upon arrival, please check in at reception, where any necessary paperwork will be completed before you are escorted to your private room.

A nurse will introduce you to the available facilities, answer any questions, and ensure you are comfortably settled. They will then begin the formal admission process, which may include asking about your general health and explaining what to expect during your stay.

Before treatment begins, both your consultant and anaesthetist will visit you. If you have any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss with them, simply let your nurse know so the necessary information can be prepared in advance.

Our team is dedicated to addressing all your concerns, as peace of mind plays a vital role in your recovery.

After Your Treatment

You will be brought back to your room for recovery, where a nurse will check regularly. If you are in discomfort, or have any cause for concern, please make your nurse aware, or use your bedside call bell.

If you wish, your partner, or relative can wait in the bedroom, for your return from the operating theatre. Your consultant will normally visit later that day, or on the morning following surgery.

Once your consultant and other staff involved in your care are satisfied that you are recovering well, you can be discharged and return home.

Before you leave, verbal and written information about any medication, or special care needed will be provided. Any follow up appointments will normally be arranged, or confirmed later by letter.

Arrangements for going home

If you have had an anaesthetic or sedation it is important not to drive for at least 24 hours afterwards so arrangements for you to be collected will be needed.

If you need a taxi to get home, please ask reception to arrange this. A staff member will be pleased to assist with carrying your possessions, or offer any support you need.
