Your appointment

What to do before

To prepare for your appointment, make sure you:

• bring comfortable day clothes, or loose-fitting clothes
• take the appropriate bowel preparation as prescribed by your doctor
• have a support person arranged to pick you up after the procedure and stay with you for 24 hours
• follow the correct fasting guidelines for your procedure.

What to bring

Please bring:

• your appointment letter
• your Medicare card
• any other healthcare/concession cards
• a list of medicines you are currently taking (or the boxes/packaging), including medicines you have bought without a prescription, such as herbal supplements and vitamins.

What to expect on the day

The amount of time you spend in hospital will depend on your procedure and recovery time. Please do not hesitate to ask our nurses your expected pick-up time.

After checking in with our reception staff, you will be asked to take a seat in the waiting room. A nurse will come and show you to the changing area before the procedure begins.

When your procedure is finished, the nursing staff will care for you through recovery and contact your support person when it is time for them to pick you up.
