Our Services A - Z - Sanderson Suite
About the service
Sanderson Suite, at St Helens Hospital, is our day case ward providing minor surgical procedures.
Important information for patients attending for day case surgery:
- If you cannot keep your admission date, please telephone the number on your admissions letter as soon as possible. We may be able to treat another patient in your place.
- Due to limited space on the day wards, we ask relatives not to stay with the patient. The ward will telephone relatives/carers to pick you up
- Please remove all make-up, nail polish (inlcuding shellac, gel, acrylic nails) and jewellery.
- Children under 16-17 years must be accompanied by a responsible adult

We also suggest that you bring the following items to make your time with us as comfortable as possible:

- Telephone number of the person who will be collecting you
Please do not bring valuables or large sums of money.
A patient information booklet for day patients will be sent to patients along with their appointment letter and will provide further information for patients about their admission.
