About the Unit and its Facilities
Day Surgery Unit is a purpose built unit. It was opened in 2000 and consists of five operating theatres and a thirty three trolley mixed ward, divided into bays, which we endeavour to make single sex. Children are accommodated in a separate area to the adults.
The Day Surgery Ward
We believe every patient is a unique individual with social, physical and psychological needs which have to be met.
We are very proud of the care that is provided to all our patients and it is wonderful to receive so many thank you cards and letters of praise.
Over 77% of operations carried out at the Royal United Hospital NHS trust are day cases. This benefits the patient as they can return to their normal home environment as soon as they have recovered from the anaesthetic.
The short hospital stay also minimises disruption to their daily routine and to the lives of family and friends.
We are situated on the first floor above reception at the main entrance (lift available).
Day Surgery Unit provides comfortable areas for you to wait in.
Some of the facilities available to you before and after your operation include:
- A television room for use while you wait.
- Complimentary biscuits and sandwiches for patients after you have had your operation
Please note that a hospital café and newsagent is situated near the Main Entrance. More information can be found on:
