Figure 3.1 relates to the day surgery patient pathway and it is stated that post-discharge treatment is 50% nurse led. Should the figure in this regard be higher? I am concerned that people were not given details regarding the accident and emergency departments they should attend if they required aftercare. It appears that patients seem to be discharged on a somewhat perfunctory basis. It is stated that they are not given adequate information regarding which accident and emergency department to attend should they need to return. What level of post-discharge care would Professor Keane like to be nurse led?
