Pre-operative screening clinics for patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery occurs in a combined clinic with a consultant anaesthetist, joint replacement nurses and an orthopaedic surgeon. Pre-operative classes are held for patients due to undergo major joint replacement surgery. This gives patients an opportunity to understand their journey through the pre-operative stage, their admission to hospital and their post-operative care. Patients are exposed to the aids that would be used to mobilise them post surgery, in advance of attending the hospital for their surgery.
