Thank you for your comments they were of help to me. As i ve said any information is gratefully appreciated. Many thank for finding the time. jjjulie

I have replyed to your question by adding a further thread hope this answers all your questions about what i am looking for. But yes i meant all of what you wrote above. so i think you did know what i meant. isnt that what visiting and pre operative mean a visit befor surgery! Any way thank you for your comments i have now added further information regarding this subject. jjjulie.

Just for thoses people that have difficulty in understanding what i mean by preoperative visiting i am asking for any information on this subject. for example do you carry out any form of visiting patients in your hospital prior to surgery. If you do how do you go about it. Are patients given or sent a leaflet, does a member of staff visit patients a few days prior to their surgery or on the night before or even on the actual day of surgery. If it is carried out is it successful within your department . Do recovery nurses find patients easier to manage if they have been visited prior to having surgery.Are patients more relaxed if they are given more information regarding their trip to the theatre and recovery experience. Im looking for basically any information you can give me on this subject as every hospital has its own policies and proccedures. Your view as nurses, do you think it is a good idea. hope this explains a bit more of what i am looking for. i value all your comments good or bad. Many thanks jjjulie.
