If you are being sedated, an anaesthetic agent together with a fast-acting, strong painkiller will be administered intravenously. You will be sedated by our Consultant Anaesthetist, as much or as little as is necessary, to relax you and ensure your comfort. In addition to the sedation, you receive local anaesthesia to the treatment site. Some patients require more sedation than others. Most patients remain awake during their procedure, however some patients do fall asleep for a short time. All of our Anaesthetists are Consultants and the patient experience is exceptional in this regard.

Your Consultant will always talk you through your treatment and you will only receive as much sedation as you require. Your Consultant will be happy to discuss the issue of sedation, or anything related to your procedure with you at the hospital before your procedure commences when they visit you in your room pre-procedure.

You must not drive home following your sedation until you have at least had a night’s sleep – it is preferable for you to wait a full 24 hours before driving.
