Abstract:
It could be argued that day surgery is seen as a poor relation to more exciting specialties, but the health secretary's campaign to expand day surgery has signalled a sea change in approach. A wide variety of procedures can be carried out in a day-surgery unit and nursing involvement is crucial. With the scope of day surgery increasing, it offers exciting opportunities and expanded roles for nurses.
