Redefining how healthcare is delivered
This is a surgeon-led program, whereby patients deemed clinically appropriate to participate in this Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, will follow a patient pathway which involves;
- Participation in a personalised pre-habilitation program through our onsite Joint Education Clinic
- Early mobilisation post-surgery with support from onsite physiotherapy and nursing staff
- A short hospital stay of between 1 to 3 days
- Supported home recovery package with rehabilitation in the home, should their treating surgeon deem it necessary
The patient’s clinical pathway is adjusted according to their specific requirements, and the length of stay is as deemed appropriate by the surgeon, in line with the patient’s readiness for discharge.
