The Surgical Services team ensures that all patients, whether going home the same day of their surgery or being admitted to hospital after your surgery, have the best possible healthcare experience.

Pre-Admit Clinic

Prior to surgery, most surgical patients are booked for a preoperative nursing assessment in the Pre-Admission Clinic, either by telephone or through video conferencing. Patients may also have their health history reviewed with an Anesthetist. Patients will receive an information booklet from their surgeon and are asked to complete the preoperative questionnaire before their Pre-Admission Clinic appointment. A nurse will also review medications during this appointment. If patients require diagnostic testing and or blood work, this will be arranged by the surgeon.
