The
Admissions department monitors and manages patient admissions
to the hospital. This can either be through A&E (as an emergency)
or the waiting list (electively). |
There are three types of elective hospital admission depending on the nature
of tests or treatment that you require. Your doctor, dentist or optician
will
refer
you for treatment, and as a hospital patient, you will fall under one of
the following categories:
- Outpatient
If you are referred to see a hospital consultant for a specialist opinion,
your visit to the consultant is an outpatient appointment. You do not need
to stay in hospital.
- Day patient
If you need a hospital bed for tests or surgery, but do not need to stay
overnight for surgery, you will have a day patient appointment (also known
as a day case).
- Inpatient
If you need a hospital bed because you have to stay in hospital for tests
or surgery, you will have an inpatient appointment.
For whichever type of care you require, you will receive a letter with details
of your appointment date and time, including directions
to the hospital and appropriate clinic. Alternatively, you may be asked to
telephone the hospital yourself to arrange an appointment on a convenient
day.
