I had an operation on the Monday and was not discharged until the Friday but stayed throughout in the Day Care Unit. The care I received was first class and appropriate to my needs during recovery despite some complications. Absolutely no complaints (even though my operation was cancelled at the end of the day when I first attended).
In the past 5 years I have had 5 operations of which 2 were in the private sector. There is no comparison and I would choose the NHS every time based on my experience. The pre-op in the private sector is very superficial and if anything goes wrong they are not there to support you. Yet at FGH my every need was promptly addressed and I was kept as comfortable as possible. The staff at all levels were cheerful and supportive. This Unit is a great way of dealing with operations where many patients can be discharged the same day but some can continue to be looked after.
