TasmanSurgeryDay

Tasman Day Surgery and Nelson’s newest private hospital has been developed with the simple principle of providing high quality, patient centred hospital care to the community.

The new hospital was opened in March 2022 in response to the rapidly developing population growth in the region.

Partnered with local firm Opritech, they have developed a leading surgical theatre system, allowing a wide range of procedures to be undertaken during Day Stay in a hospital setting.

Day Stay is a modern concept made possible through new anaesthetic and surgical techniques, reducing your hospital visit to one day or even hours. The highest quality care is maintained with the benefit of being discharged on the same day.

Tasman Day Surgery says, “Day surgery effectively reduces anxiety normally associated with undergoing surgical procedures and it is the ideal way to avoid disruption at home or work”.

The entire team of medical and administrative staff make a conscious effort to ensure they work together to give you the best possible experience. Ensuring that patients have a stress-free and comfortable time with the team is at the heart of their clinic.

General manager, Lynda Wakefield, is a registered nurse with over 30 years’ experience in her field. She has been involved in endoscopic specialisations, general surgical and obstetric nursing and more. Lynda is passionate about providing the best possible care and quality service.

She says this ensures Tasman Day Surgery supports each patient’s needs and the needs of their whanau, maximising patient experience.

The team at Tasman Day Surgery are very well experienced in endoscopy and will provide a comfortable experience with a stay of 3 hours or under on the day of procedure. Bowel cancer is the second highest cause of cancer death in New Zealand.

Around 3000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year. When identified early, bowel cancer is treatable and a colonoscopy is the best way of diagnosing it.
