Description
Formerly The Elective Surgery Centre (ESC) - North Shore Hospital Campus, Waitematā DHB
About our Elective Surgery Centre
Waitematā District Health Board’s (DHB) Elective Surgery Centre (ESC) opened in July 2013. The stand-alone facility is situated in the heart of the North Shore Hospital campus, off Shakespeare Road in Takapuna and is dedicated solely to providing uninterrupted elective surgical procedures (non-emergency) for the growing population of the Waitematā District.
The state of the art hospital has been designed around a specific model of patient care that addresses an increasing demand for elective surgical procedures to be performed within a growing and ageing population. The Waitematā district is the fastest growing of all New Zealand’s 20 DHBs.
The aim of the ESC has been to create the most productive and cost-effective surgical public hospital in the country. The building and its team has been designed to allow a greater flow of patients from admission to discharge, whilst maintaining a very high level of patient care and comfort. This has allowed the DHB to increase the number of elective procedures performed in total and reduce the overall cost of this workload, to allow the savings to be re-invested into other areas. The specific model of care within the ESC is at the forefront of global trends in healthcare. It simply separates elective services from emergency/acute care, which in turn creates efficiencies and productivity by having an uninterrupted service all year round. Other initiatives include grouping patients together who are having the same type of surgical procedure and by having dedicated teams of clinicians working together collaboratively to support shorter patient journeys in hospital.
The ESC, with its four operating theatres, forty inpatient beds, twelve bedded recovery room, stand-alone sterilising department and separate Outpatient Department, aims to increase its numbers of elective surgery, year on year, until it reaches capacity. It is expected that the unit will be able to undertake 5,500 procedures per year.

This may involve: Minimal testing followed by rapid progression to the ESC or Waitakere Hospital, or….

After you have been to your GP and they have referred you to see a specialist for your treatment, you will have to come for what is called a ‘First Specialist Appointment’. Dependent upon your condition at the time, you may or may not be selected to come for your procedure at the ESC. This will be decided by the specialist when they meet you at your first appointment and will be dependent upon your medical condition at the time and the type of surgery you might require. You will receive a call from one of the surgical bookings team to arrange this initial appointment and then, just after, you will receive a letter confirming the time and date to come in. You may or may not come to the ESC for your specialist appointment but your letter will confirm exactly where you have to go. Some outpatient appointments can occur at Waitakere Hospital or at North Shore Hospital clinics. At the appointment, you will meet a surgeon and he/she will consider your condition, your circumstances and your health status at the time and decide when, if and where it would be suitable for you to have your operation. In some instances, straight after your appointment, before you leave, you may also see a nurse, who will give you some information about your impending operation and a number of informative brochures that we ask you to read through thoroughly. Before you leave the clinic we ask you to complete a questionnaire form about your current health status, which will be used to determine if you are well enough to have a general anaesthetic, if required. In some circumstances, you may be asked to come back and meet your anaesthetist for an appointment. You will receive a phone call from our team if this is required. Once this has all been done, you will be contacted again, to see when you are available to come for surgery (if selected to go on the waiting list, this will happen within 4 months of you having your initial appointment) and you will be provided with some dates for you to consider. At this point, you will also be informed if you are coming for your surgery at the ESC, or somewhere else.

It can be quite a stressful time preparing for an operation in hospital, so we have a small team of nurses called peri-operative coordinators who oversee your journey from when you are confirmed as requiring surgery, until your surgery date.

As mentioned, we aim to provide your surgery within 4 months of having your initial appointment and if you have any concerns or questions prior to you surgery date, please do not hesitate to contact one of them. The team work Monday to Friday between 08.00am and 4.30pm and they can be contacted on the following numbers: Orthopaedic Surgery (i.e. hips, knees, spine and joint surgery)– 09 443 9072 Gynaecology or Urology Surgery – 09 484 6026 General Surgery (e.g. colorectal, breast and skin surgery) – 09 484 6097 One of our peri-operative coordinators will call you if you have any blood or urine results that need follow-up and discuss any treatment that may be required.

“Now I’ve got my letter confirming the date, what happens before I come in for my operation?” – The day before your operation, you will be called by one of our nurses, who will discuss with you when you should stop eating and drinking, prior to surgery. They will also tell you what time you should plan to arrive at the ESC and when you should stop taking any medication if required. You should inform us if you take aspirin or blood thinners, such as warfarin. You will also need to arrange transport to and from the hospital on the day. Patients that are discharged from the ESC on the same day of surgery will need to make prior arrangements to be collected from the hospital and then have someone responsible to look after them over the subsequent 24 hours, after surgery. Please bring your carer's name and contact number with you so we can contact them for you when you are ready to go home. “Where is the Elective Surgery Centre?” – The ESC is based on the North Shore Hospital Campus, right next to the multi-level car park building. It is clearly signposted from the car park and within the hospital grounds. Click here for a map “What do I bring with me on the day?” – If you are staying overnight, you will need to bring some comfortable and practical sleepwear, slippers and your toiletries. If you have any X-rays, doctor's letters or ACC documentation, please bring these along with your current medications, yellow medication card (if you have one) and your Community Services Card, if required. If you wear glasses or need walking aids, please bring these along with you and perhaps some reading material if you wish. We do also have individual TVs for each bedspace for your entertainment. If you are a day patient, please bring loose fitting, comfortable clothes to go home in. In all instances, please try to avoid bringing any valuables with you, as we cannot take responsibility for them if you do bring them in. “What happens when I arrive at the ESC on my day of surgery?” – When you arrive, you will be greeted by our receptionist, who will take your details and ask you to take a seat in the waiting area. From there, you will be collected by one of the pre-admission Nurses. Your support person may stay with you until you are taken through to the Pre-op area to get ready for your operation. Once in the Pre-op area, the nurse will measure your weight, blood pressure, temperature and height and then the surgeon and anaesthetist will come and see you and get you to sign your consent forms. We will ask you to change into a gown and give you a dressing gown and socks for you to wear, whilst you wait. Once this is all done, you will wait until the theatre team eventually collect you and take you through to the operating theatre. There may be some occasions when you could wait in this area for quite a while, but there are newspapers, magazines and a TV to help break up the time. “Can I have visitors?” – Yes, visitors are always welcome at the ESC and we ask that visitors respect the patients on our ward and keep to visiting between 8 am and 8 pm. If the visitors have any issues, please contact the ward supervisor. “What happens after my operation?" – When you do eventually go home from the ESC, either on the same day or after a longer stay on our ward, we will provide you with instructions on how to take care of yourself, any prescriptions required, details of any follow up appointments and a medical certificate if required. “Can I drive home afterwards?” – After having any kind of surgery and/or anaesthesia, you will not be allowed to drive yourself home, so you will need to have arranged for somebody to collect you and take you home. You should also refrain from drinking alcohol, operating machinery or signing any legal documentation for 24 hours after your operation.
