Werribee Mercy Hospital

Day Procedure Unit (DPU) and Medical Day Stay (MDS)

Werribee, Victoria (location within Werribee Mercy Hospital)

Overview

On the day of your surgery, you will need to go to the Day Procedure Unit (DPU) reception desk to be admitted. Your letter will direct you to DPU.

The DPU is also the main reception point for Endoscopy, Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), Medical Day Stay (Infusions and Chemotherapy) and HITH (Community nursing).

If you are having day surgery, this is also where your support person should come to pick you up.

Please check your letter carefully.

If your letter tells you to go to the Day of Surgery Admissions (DOSA), this is a different Elective Surgery unit which is located on Level 3 of the Catherine McCauley Centre.

If you are unsure of where to attend, please call us.
