Discharge, support and after care

When your procedure has been completed and you are leaving the hospital remember to take everything with you. One of the nursing team may arrange a time with you to come back to review any dressings.

If, once you have got home problems arise, help is available from a number of sources.

First, you may ring the office number. If it is during working hours, this is certainly what you should do. The secretarial staff will be able to contact your surgeon, the clinical assistants or our spinal nurse can also advice for you. 

Second, you may ring the hospital and ask to speak to my Spinal Nurse. In her absence, you should ask to speak to the hospital’s Duty Manager or to the ward staff.  Telephone numbers can be found in our Contact Us section.

You may of course contact your general practitioner or any emergency service should you so wish or if the other avenues fail.

We do not provide a 24 hour emergency service but can respond on most occasions.
