Day surgery discharge information
Has the person you care for had a general/local anaesthetic or sedation for a procedure? If so it is important to remember that “Day surgery does not mean day recovery” and they must go home and rest. You can find comprehensive information at the webpage below:
The Discharge Lounge
The discharge lounge at both the Royal Free Hospital and Barnet Hospital provides a dedicated space for patients to wait for collection after discharge from their ward. This allows inpatients to vacate acute beds earlier in the day to await their final elements of discharge, such as medication, transportation, or paperwork.
The lounge provides a comprehensive range of services to enhance patient care, improve efficiency, and quicken the discharge process.
Between the hospital lounges, the hospitals can accommodate a diverse range of patient categories, including patients who can walk and/or have reduced mobility, patients who need enhanced care, and stretcher patients.
