This is where you will come when you are having elective day surgery or surgery where you will stay overnight.
This unit/ward is responsible for screening every elective surgical patient and deciding if you need to come to a pre-admission clinic before your procedure.
The perioperative unit will ensure that you are all prepared for your surgery.
