About your stay<br />
Kingsbridge Private Hospital has two main <strong>admission</strong>s areas.<br />
The O’Malley Day Ward is an open ward with day beds, 6 couches and a number of reclining chairs.<br />
Whilst your privacy will be maintained throughout your stay, you will not be given an individual room.<br />
The main ward comprises a number of individual single rooms with en suite facilities and a TV for<br />
your comfort. A nurse call system is installed in each room for your convenience, providing immediate<br />
contact with the nursing staff.<br />
A resident Doctor is based in the hospital 24 hours a day.<br />
IF YOU ARE A DAYPATIENT<br />
You may be seen in either <strong>admission</strong> area depending on the type of procedure you are attending for.<br />
Admission may take up to 45 minutes. You will go to the operating theatre for your procedure from<br />
the <strong>admission</strong>s area. After your surgery you will return to the day ward or be taken to the recovery<br />
area. If you have received sedation you will need to stay until the effects of the sedation have worn<br />
off and it is safe to discharge you from the hospital. It is important that you have a responsible adult<br />
to accompany you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours after your discharge.<br />
IF YOU ARE AN INPATIENT<br />
You will be shown to the <strong>admission</strong>s area on the ward where you will be seen by a nurse who<br />
will complete a full <strong>admission</strong>. You will go to the operating theatre for your procedure from the<br />
<strong>admission</strong>s area or ward. After your surgery, you will be taken to your room in the ward with your<br />
personal belongings.
