Post Surgical Care

All care and treatments at home follow international-standard clinical guidelines agreed with the referring specialist doctor who remains clinically responsible for the care at all times.

With specialist guidance from intensivist and the treating doctors we deliver the best possible services to the patient without the clamour of a typical hospital ICU.

Post-surgery, remaining in a hospital bed should be for no longer than is absolutely necessary. A high quality and specialist homecare service, delivered by highly trained HCAH nurses, physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals, offers dedicated one-to-one care in the comfort of the home.

The major benefits of homecare include a better quality of life (no travel to hospitals or clinics, greater convenience to patient and family)), lower risk of hospital-acquired infections (which is particularly important post-surgery), faster recovery and excellent clinical outcomes equal to (if not better than) treatment in the hospital or clinic.

• * Post-operative dressing.
• * Stitch removal and drain care.
