Welcome to the Anaesthetic Department

We hope these pages will prepare you, and others involved in your care, for any surgery you are having within the Trust. We understand this can be a worrying time for you, and want you to feel fully informed about your anaesthetic.

There are many information resources on this site. Not all of the resources are likely to be relevant to your individual situation. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have when you attend surgical pre-assessment, when you see your surgeon, and when you meet your anaesthetist on the day of surgery. The telephone number for surgical pre-assessment is 01384 456111 ext. 1849.
