Before you leave
You will be given instructions on how to look after your wounds. You may be given an antibiotic ointment to apply to the wounds.
Before you leave, a follow-up appointment will be made for you to return in 5-10 days to have your wound checked and for any stitches to be removed.
Wound care
If you have dressings over your wounds then you will be told if they are shower proof or not.
Your wound may be left open (without a dressing) and you may be given an antibiotic ointment to apply 2-3 a day. If this is the case you can shower and bath to keep your wounds clean.
Consistently high service provision with patient needs first.
Outstanding service from start to finish. From the first contact with the hospital, their service stayed at the same exceptional level, which is very hard to do. From telephone contact, looking for service information, through to appointment booking, receiving joining instructions, reception waiting, clinical consultation, medical treatment, results, and medical follow-up, it has been exceptional. I was going through a potentially worrying condition, and their service and manner of dealing with me was wonderful. A very caring and human service.
Other medical practices should go visit them and see how great service delivery is undertaken.
