Abstract

This prospective descriptive study of primary health care workload in the five days after day surgery is based on a questionnaire to patients who received day surgery in a specialist unit in Oxford. Half of all patients received health care, the mean consultation time was 16 minutes, and half the consultations were within two days of surgery.
