If you've been in hospital for any kind or surgery, the hospital should arrange for any follow up nursing or social care needs for you before discharge.

They will also provide you with their '24 hour surgical helpline' details should you experience any problems following surgery so, if you do have a problem or query about your surgery or treatment, please contact them first as they will be able to access your hospital records whereas we can't and we may not even have received your discharge letter.

Contacting them directly will ensure that you receive the most appropriate advice or follow up care should you need it.
