Elective Admissions Lounge
Location
The Elective Admissions Lounge is situated on the first floor at Queen's Burton, next to theatres; it is signposted from the hospital shop.
Telephone
01283 566333 ext: 4262
The Elective Admissions Lounge is the department where elective surgical patients report to on the day of surgery. All pre-operative checks required are performed along with any outstanding tests that may be required prior to surgery.
The surgeon and anaesthetist will review a patient here pre-operatively also, giving the patient the opportunity to ask any questions or concerns they may have regarding surgery and / or post op care.
About our service
Once a patient has an appointment for surgery, they report to us, at either 7:30am or 11:30am.
7:30am admissions are generally for the morning theatre list, however this may not always be the case.
11:30am admissions are generally for afternoon theatres lists.
Theatre lists are pre-determined by the surgeon operating, and there can be up to 5 theatre lists operating at any one time. So although there may be a lot of people in the waiting rooms they may not be in the same theatre.
A patient is reviewed by the nursing staff, surgeons, and anaesthetist; this provides an ideal opportunity for patients to raise any concerns.
The patient remains within the Elective Admissions lounge until required for theatre, they then get changed into theatre gowns, and walk to theatre.
Their property remains in a locker in the lounge until their bed becomes available; this is then transferred to the ward by the Elective Admission Lounge staff.
Patient’s relatives are welcome to stay with the patient until they are needed in theatre.
