After your Surgery

Patient Admission & Health Questionnaire Form

To help us prepare for your treatment, we ask that your completed admission forms are returned before your surgery.

Once received, our clinical team will review your information and determine whether you require a pre-admission assessment. This may be as simple as a phone call or, depending on the complexity of your procedure, may involve a visit to the hospital.

If you are completing paper patient admission forms (rather than using the MyHealthcare patient portal provided by your specialist), please ensure they are completed and received by Grace Hospital at least two weeks before your admission date.

You can submit your paper forms in one of the following ways:

In person:
Deliver your forms to Reception at Grace Hospital
281 Cheyne Road, Tauranga

Reception Hours:

  • Monday – Friday 7:30am to 7:30pm
  • Saturday 8:30am to 1:00pm.

By post:
Please allow an additional 1 to 2 weeks for postal delivery.
Grace Hospital, PO Box 2320, Tauranga 3144

By email:
Scan, photograph, or save your completed forms and email them to:
admissions@gracehospital.co.nz

Thank you for helping us ensure your admission process runs smoothly.


 
When you get home
We strongly advise you have a capable adult with you for the first 24 hours following discharge from hospital. It's important that you rest during this time so it's helpful to have additional support.

It's normal to feel some degree of pain or discomfort after an operation - your surgeon and nurses will explain what is to be expected based on your procedure.  Please also feel free to call us if you have any queries.
 
Please call your surgeon or doctor immediately if you experience
 
  • increased pain or excessive swelling around the wound
  • nausea or vomiting
  • chest pain or breathing trouble
  • fever or chills
In the event of an emergency call an ambulance (111).
