COVID-19 Testing for Surgery Patients

Some patients may require testing for COVID-19 before their procedure.  You will be advised if you require a test. 

All patients are also screened for COVID-19 symptoms at the time of their surgery.   A positive screening assessment will require pre-operative COVID-19 swabbing even if the patient is fully vaccinated.
