Post-Operative Care
The feedback we have received in the 15 years of operating has highlighted the importance of post-operative care and education.
Nurse Support
Once you are discharged from hospital, one of our nursing staff will be in contact with you to check-in. Although you will have been well informed prior to your surgery date, the Nurses will cover;
Fluid, protein and vitamin intake
Pain management
Medications
Wound care
Bowel care
Movement and activity restrictions
Surgeon Support
You will have routine review appointments with your surgeon to ensure the best recovery possible.
The first follow up will be approximately 6 weeks post-surgery; you will be informed of this appointment by our Nurses.
The remaining follow up appointments will be made to suit our patient’s schedule with all reviews being bulk-billed with a valid GP referral.
Dietitian Support
As part of the Service Fee our patients are entitled to 4 appointments with our Accredited Practicing Dietitian.
The post-operative appointments will discuss lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as answering any questions you may have about your diet.
These appointments can be in-rooms or via telehealth.
Patients are encouraged to contact our rooms if they have questions about ANY aspect of their recovery at ANY stage with no additional fees.
