Most day surgery procedures are carried out in the Raedwald Day Surgery Unit, in the landmark Garrett Anderson Centre.
The unit has four operating theatres, 18 single adult day surgery trolley cubicles, a six-bay post anaesthetic recovery suite and a recovery lounge for minor operation patients. Children are treated in a dedicated paediatric area with a play room and seven day surgery trolleys bays.
Because patients have their own private space, relatives who accompany you to hospital can sit and wait for you while you have your procedure.
Artwork decorating the unit has been donated by The National Trust. The name 'Raedwald' comes from the first king of East Anglia, King Raedwald, who is believed to have been buried at Suffolk’s Sutton Hoo.
The leaflets below will help you prepare for your admission.
What our patients say
"Thank you to all the staff on Raedwald for being so kind and caring to me on the afternoon of my surgery"
"The team looked after my little girl with great care, she was made to feel at ease and they made the visit and operation better for her"
"A nice clean hospital with all the staff helping no end"
"There was a lovely man helping me come round from the anaesthetic. Absolutely everyone has been very sweet, even the initial receptionist's cheerfulness was very reassuring. I've actually enjoyed my time here!"
