Family, friends and/or carers are welcome to stay in reception or visit the on-site coffee shop. 

Alternatively, carers may wish to leave the premises once the patient has been admitted and return when ythe patient is ready to be discharged.

The anaesthetist discusses the anaesthetic process with each patient  in these rooms before tthe patient is taken to one of the 4 anaesthetic bays.

Just before surgery the patient is transferred to one of the anaesthetic bays where the patient is prepared for surgery by the anaesthetist and the anaesthetic nurse.
