We are lucky here as a lot of diagnosis and minor ops are done at a private hospital paid for by the NHS. It is 2 minutes away from the General Hospital if needed. There is a dedicated suite and the process is well managed, each nurse had one role and kept the conveyor rolling. There were lots of patients and I had a wait because the lady in front had a problem. I had 5 nurses, one on admission, 3 in the theatre (one held mouthpiece, one dealt with the equipment and one was analysing the results) and one for discharge. They work weekends thus keeping the waiting list down. I think it was very efficient and good use of NHS money taking pressure off the main hospital and nipping illnesses in the bud.
