Update: 20 May 2020
If you are coming to Wycombe Hospital for an elective (pre-planned) procedure or operation, please click here to read a letter with information about where to park and what to expect on the day of your surgery.
Planned admission
If you are being admitted for pre-planned treatment or surgery you should have been informed in your admission letter about what to bring.
Emergency admission
If you or your relative/friend has been admitted as an emergency these are the items likely to be needed in addition to the list above:
Lost property
If you find any lost property, it should be handed in to a member of staff at the cashiers department (during office hours) or to a member of staff at the reception desk at other times.
Non-smoking
Please note that we operate a strict non-smoking policy across all our sites. Visit the Buckinghamshire smokescape website for more details about giving up smoking.
We want to make sure that you fully understand your condition and the different treatment options available to you. Before you receive any treatment, your doctor will explain what he or she is recommending, including the benefits, risks and any alternatives. Please ask questions if you are unsure about anything.
You may be asked to sign a consent form for your treatment. You are able to refuse treatment at any time, including after you have signed a consent form. If you are unsure then please ask us for further clarification.
Plans for your discharge will start to be discussed with you and your family early on in your hospital admission to identify what arrangements, if any, need to be made to facilitate this process. When your consultant has decided that you are ready to be discharged a date will be confirmed.
On the day of discharge you should ensure that you are ready to leave your bed by 10am so that it can be made available to another patient.
Transport home
You are responsible for making your own arrangements for getting home unless your healthcare team has advised that hospital transport is required.
Visit our help with travel costs section for more information on travel to and from hospital.
Things to remember on going home:
If you are unhappy about any aspect of your care, please speak to the nurse in charge, who will try to resolve matters for you there and then.
If you need further help or advice, you can contact the Patient Advice and Liaison Service (PALS) at your hospital.
