A comforting arrival

The Welcome Lounge at Mater Private Hospital Brisbane is a state-of-the-art facility that provides an inviting space for patients to wait before they are taken to surgery.   The lounge assists in reducing patient wait times and transport through the hospital, provides a single point of access to patients for their doctors and improves admission and discharge processes.

On presentation to the lounge, patients are welcomed by friendly reception staff into a quiet, relaxed space complete with leather armchairs, a large screen television, two high-speed Internet access stations and a reading area. From here, nursing staff prepare patients for their surgery. Once ready, patients relax in the comfortable pods of the “gown lounge” where there is also a large screen television and unique art work to admire.

When it’s time for surgery a nurse will transfer you to the operating theatre.
If you are visiting the hospital for day surgery, your support person is able to collect you from the Welcome Lounge as soon as staff give you the all clear to return home.
