Questions before you book.

Yes. The anaesthetist meets you in the pre-op clinic and again before the procedure to confirm the plan and answer questions.

Spinal, epidural, regional nerve blocks and sedation are options for many procedures, with the choice based on the operation and your medical history.

Yes. Modern obstetric epidurals are very safe and widely used. We discuss benefits and risks at your antenatal anaesthetic visit.

Both increase peri-operative risk. We optimise you in the pre-op clinic and tailor anaesthesia and recovery to keep you safe.

Most patients are awake within minutes of general anaesthesia ending, with full recovery over a few hours. Spinal blocks wear off in 2–4 hours.

No. You must arrange a responsible adult to take you home and stay with you for 24 hours after any sedation or anaesthetic.
