Anaesthesia
Our Consultant Anaesthetists provide regional and general anaesthesia to our patients to allow surgery to be performed safely and painlessly.
Your anaesthetists will meet with you before your operation to discuss your medical history and ensure the anaesthetic and/or sedation given to you is appropriate to optimise your recovery after your operation.
