Orthopaedic Pre-Assessment Clinic
All patients scheduled for joint surgery in Mount Carmel Private Hospital (MCH) must attend the Pre-Assessment Clinic in MCH following referral by their consultant. At the Pre-assessment Clinic, a comprehensive medical assessment takes place to ensure patients are fit for surgery thereby minimising risk, ensuring a speedy recovery whilst avoiding cancellation and disappointment on day of surgery.

Along with establishing medical fitness, the patient is more psychologically prepared for surgery as he/she is informed of the process of events from admission to discharge whilst any concerns regarding the pending surgery are addressed during the pre-assessment stage. Patients become familiar with MCH hospital, have the opportunity to meet some of the staff and are invited to ask questions. Advice is also given regarding post-surgery pain relief.
