Before any planned surgery, pre-operative assessments make sure patients are ready for their procedure.

We’re changing how we do these, and you’ll now get a health questionnaire by email.

Make sure we have your email address, and that you complete the questionnaire when it arrives in your inbox. Your answers will help us decide if you need any further tests.

For some patients, this will save a trip to hospital, or mean a shorter appointment.

This means we can see more people and make sure you are ready for your procedure, which can help improve your recovery.

If you need help to access the questionnaire, call the number on your appointment letter.
