Riverside Treatment Centre (Day Surgery)
We are no longer allowing relatives into the ward after an
operation in the Riverside Treatment Centre, in order to speed up
our patients' recovery. In order to protect privacy
and dignity, we do not allow visitors in to our waiting area. If
this concerns you, please bring this to our attention during your
pre-assessment. You can read more about day surgery in the
Riverside
Treatment Centre brochure.
