MySurgery Yeovil

MySurgery Yeovil is an app that has been developed to support patients having surgery at Yeovil District Hospital. Whilst the information it contains may be useful for any person having surgery, it’s content has been specifically developed and approved by the surgical team in Yeovil, to help patients get the best possible outcomes from their surgery.

Surgical care is complex and by using this app you can learn how to avoid risk before, after and during your operation (whatever you’re having done) in a simple, jargon-free and step by step manner. Whether it's you having the operation or someone you know, use this animated app to find out how to prepare for surgery, what to expect from your care, the warning signs to look out for, what information to provide and the questions to ask.
