Welcome to Staplegrove Anaesthetists
Staplegrove Anaesthetists LLP (SALLP) are a group of consultants who provide a comprehensive and high quality anaesthetic and peri-operative medicine service at Somerset Nuffield Health. All of our members work at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton. Many hold prominent local, regional, and national roles within the NHS and other organisations.
What to expect during your stay
Your consultant will visit you before your procedure, and following a full assessment of your medical and anaesthetic history will discuss the available anaesthetic options with you. Your consultant will administer your anaesthetic in the operating theatre, care for and monitor you throughout your procedure. They will then transfer you to the recovery unit where you will continue to be closely monitored before returning to the ward. Your postoperative pain relief and fluids will be prescribed by your anaesthetist to be given on the ward by the nursing staff. SALLP provides a take-back service and can provide critical care support in the unlikely event you need to return to theatre or become unwell after your procedure.
