Your consent
If you require information before your procedure then one of our Rodney Surgical personnel will be able to assist, or you can call your Specialist directly. Their contact details will be on your bookings letter.
All patients are required to sign a consent form for both the surgery and any anaesthetic that may be administered. It is important that you understand what procedure you are about to undergo and why you require it. Ask as many questions as necessary before you sign your consent form. Prior to surgery you will be seen the relevant specialists.
