As a result of concerns
that some patients were admitted for their surgery
feeling unprepared for what was going to happen,
the nurse consultant in cardiac care introduced
a Fit For Cardiac Surgery clinic. Patients are invited
to an hour long appointment and can bring a friend
or relative with them. She goes through the surgeon’s
letter to the referring doctor and explains what
is planned and why. This patients’ consent
to surgery is much better informed. They have her
card and phone number so that they can call back
with further questions.
