The workload of a purpose built day surgical unit

T W Ogg et al. Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 1987 May.

Abstract

The workload and utilisation of a purpose built day surgical unit at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge has been reviewed. Senior medical personnel are involved in the unit and 5071 operations were performed in the first two years. Despite a reduction of inpatient beds the surgical waiting lists have also decreased, we believe as a direct result of the day surgery programme. The results presented support the recommendations made in the recent report on day surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
