Last week we celebrated a very special member of our team — wishing our wonderful housekeeper Elena a very happy birthday! 🎉

One thing we consistently hear from patients, clinicians, and visitors is how clean, tidy, and fresh the hospital feels. That doesn’t happen by chance — it’s thanks to the exceptional care, attention, and oversight from Elena, alongside Ling, our other fantastic housekeeper.

Having been with us from the very beginning, Elena and Ling have helped shape the welcoming and high-standard environment we’re so proud of today. They are an absolute delight to have as part of the team, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything they do.

Happy Birthday, Elena — we hope you have a brilliant day! 🎂

🎁✨ Supporting your recovery from the very first step home

In this video, the team at North Bristol Private Hospital is joined by Medical Director and Consultant Plastic Surgeon Elena Prousskaia to discuss an often overlooked but important part of the patient journey: the post-operative discharge “goody bag” provided after private cosmetic surgery.

Carefully prepared for every patient, this package is designed to ensure you leave hospital feeling informed, supported, and comfortable as you begin your recovery at home.

Inside, patients will typically find:
• Prescribed medications tailored to their procedure
• Clear clinical paperwork outlining next steps in recovery
• Detailed wound care instructions and guidance
• Sterile dressings and essential aftercare supplies
• A few thoughtful items to help make the journey home more comfortable

Every element is included with safety, clarity, and patient wellbeing in mind—helping ensure that recovery begins with confidence and reassurance the moment you leave hospital care.

Because recovery doesn’t start at home—it starts with how prepared you feel when you leave.

🚗👁️ Driving after eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): what patients need to know

In this discussion, the medical team at North Bristol Private Hospital sits down with Medical Director and Consultant Plastic Surgeon Elena Prousskaia to talk through one of the most common post-operative questions: when is it safe to get back behind the wheel after eyelid surgery?

Following blepharoplasty, patients are generally advised to avoid driving until their vision is clear, comfortable, and stable, and they are no longer taking any sedating pain relief. This is because even relatively minor swelling, bruising, or temporary changes in focus can affect depth perception, reaction time, and overall driving safety.

During the early recovery phase, it is also common to experience light sensitivity, watery eyes, or intermittent blurred vision—any of which can make driving unsafe. In addition, some patients may have reduced peripheral awareness due to swelling around the upper eyelids.

Most patients are advised to wait at least 3-4 weeks before resuming driving, but the exact timing varies depending on individual healing and the nature of the surgery. The key message is simple: return to driving only when you feel fully confident that your vision and comfort levels allow you to react safely in all conditions.

Always follow your surgeon’s personalised advice before getting back on the road.
