We also are a day of surgery arrival unit for cardiothoracic patients, where they are prepared for their surgery and then transferred to another ward for all aftercare.
Ward 27 at the Freeman Hospital provides care for people requiring treatment for a range of conditions and have come in for intervention/surgery, including:
- Cardiology – Angiogram, angioplasty, pacemaker/defibrillators, ablations and TAVI.
- Respiratory – Treatment for long-term conditions such as asthma and bronchiectasis.
- Cardiothoracic – Heart and lung surgery including coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG), valve repair/replacement and lobectomy.
You will be cared for by several members of staff including doctors, nurses and other support staff.
Please note, we do not allow visitors on this unit.
I can’t thank all the staff on ward 27 enough. They were kind, caring, very friendly and answered any questions to put your mind at rest. They were also very professional and fantastic at what they do. I really can’t praise all the staff enough. Thank you so much.
