Once the patient has been adequately assessed and deemed suitable for ambulatory surgery, the clinical team will start to prepare. This will involve completion of any further anaesthetic investigations and surgical diagnostics. Consent should be obtained with explanation and post‐operative plan discussed.

The patient must be given appropriate information regarding the perioperative period. This will include an overview of fasting requirements, medications that need to be taken, and information pertaining to personal hygiene. In addition, simple information about location and timings should be provided. Finally, the patient and carer/responsible adult should be given information on whom to contact for queries or help with post‐operative complications.
