What happens at the Pre-admission Clinic?
A pre-admission nurse will go through your health questionnaire and answer any questions about your admission. This is a good time to discuss issues such as your current medication or any dietary requirements. You should advise the nurse about any pre-existing conditions or risk factors and express any concerns about your care after discharge. The nurse can refer you to our discharge planning and/or social work team.
