Adult Cardiothoracic Pre-admission and Discharge Liaison Service

Cardiothoracic Surgery Pre-operative Assessment Clinic

The Cardiothoracic Pre-operative Assessment Clinic provides an environment in which patients and their families can discuss their forthcoming admission, surgery and recovery.

Each patient is seen by a Specialist Nurse, Doctor or Physician Associate and, if appropriate, an Anaesthetist.

We aim to ensure patients are mentally and physically prepared for their surgery and that their individual needs are catered for wherever possible.

We also provide information and a telephone helpline number. We offer telephone support both pre-operatively and post-operatively following discharge from hospital.

Tests carried out in clinic include ECG, chest X-ray and blood tests. Some patients will have other tests booked on the day of clinic.

If further investigations or lifestyle changes are needed, these are organised after the Pre-operative Assessment Clinic appointment.
