Mobile Post-Operative Service

Surgical operations are divided in major, intermediate and minor procedures 


Currently, about 50% of all surgical operations undertaken by the NHS involve day surgery procedures - and, every year, millions of ‘Day Stay’ operations are performed in the UK. 

Day surgery is cost-effective for the NHS and many people feel that it causes less stress and disruption to most patients.  The majority of Day Stay patients go home the same day and usually need minimal post operative care – apart from, perhaps, some pain relief and a follow up appointment at a later date





However, it should also be remembered that thousands of patients need different levels of post operative care when they get home and Medical Assistance UK offers a comprehensive service to support private individuals, private hospitals and clinics, NHS Day Stay Units, surgeons and anaesthetists.  

For instance, every year, thousands of patients undergo different types of ‘keyhole surgery’ and (although the incisions are small and recovery is usually faster) many patients do not realise the extent of the surgery that they have had done – and it is sometimes easy for a patient to attempt too much too soon.

Medical Assistance UK is able to arrange various levels of support to help every patient after a surgical procedure – and before if necessary!  

MAUK has the necessary resources and expertise to arrange a qualified nurse or HCA to look after any patient before and after their procedure.  For instance, we are able to...

• Provide a car, with a uniformed driver, to take you to the hospital
  
• Supply an escort for you, if necessary, to spend the whole day with you
  
• Provide an escort and/or a vehicle for subsequent appointments
  
• Return you to your home in a car or, if necessary, a private ambulance
  
• Check and generally look after your dressings (with your doctors permission)
  
• We can assist you with regard to collecting and taking your medication
  
• Arrange for any blood tests
