When You Leave

Before you leave our hospital we will give you a report with instructions regarding after-care and medications. Most patients report nothing more than a slight discomfort following this type of examination. 

If you have any questions or concerns following the procedure, please contact your referring doctor immediately.

Do not drive a car or operate machinery,

Do not have a heavy meal, drink alcohol, conduct business or sign legal documents.

When leaving the Surgery after having an anaesthetic/sedation you must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
