Overview
The day hospital provides treatments and procedures that can be completed during the day, without an overnight stay. It is commonly used for outpatient drug therapy, supportive treatments, and certain procedures and observation.
What to expect
You arrive for a scheduled session, receive the planned treatment or procedure under medical supervision, are observed as needed, and return home the same day. The treating team explains how many sessions are expected and how they are spaced.
Preparation
Follow any instructions given when your session is booked, such as eating beforehand, taking or pausing certain medicines, and arranging someone to accompany you if advised. Bring an identity document, referral, and previous results.
How to access the day hospital
Day-hospital treatment is arranged by the treating team as part of your care plan. Confirm scheduling, preparation, and pricing through reception.
