Private Stress-free Recovery packages at Chaucer Hospital

Pre-Operative Package

To avoid the stress of having to arrive at the hospital early on the morning of your operation, you can book an extra night’s stay the evening before. This will allow you the time to relax in your room and avoid the pressure of checking into the hospital at a set time on the day of your surgery.

The price of your stay includes a private en-suite bedroom providing a comfortable overnight stay, with its own TV, free WiFi and where you can enjoy your chosen evening meal. 

This package is £100 per night.

Peace of Mind Package

If you do not have the support you need at home you may wish to stay within the hospital for an extended recovery period. This can provide the comfort and reassurance you need to get well quicker.

• A private en-suite bedroom
