Emergency services
A theatre team is on duty at all times to undertake emergency procedures, with a second team available, on-call, out-of-hours and weekends.
A well-equipped 15-bedded recovery area is staffed 24-hours-a-day where patients are closely monitored and kept comfortable following anaesthesia and surgery before returning to the ward.
