Peri-Operative
Peri-Operative Medicine
When anaesthesia concerns you or your doctor - we should meet
No two single people are identical and neither are their health risks
My Challenge
I think all patients can all be better prepared for surgery or procedures. And this is where my experience as a peri-operative physician comes in use.
The best way to start, is to meet in the outpatients department bringing your records and memories and concerns.
Sometimes this is easier if you bring a relative with you. We meet and talk through all your health and previous experiences or issues with anaesthesia and critical care.
Nothing is 'too small a detail' at this stage.
Hopefully we are then in a position to go forwards either together or I can write a report for your doctors/insurers/records.
Common issues we 'fix' are:
- Previous severe post-op nausea
- Bad pain experiences
- Allergies
- Cardiac concerns
- Sleep disturbances like snoring and sleep apnoea
- Needle phobia
- Fear of Awareness
Costs
There is always a cost when professional time is used and hospital rooms are rented. My self pay charge for this service starts from £150 for the first hour and £105 for each subsequent hour.
