After being in a hospital bed for 8 days I was offered if I would be interested in moving to OPAT at Forth Valley Hospital.
I thought this was great. I would get all the treatment I would need. I just had to come in for 20 to 30 minutes every day.
This suited me down to earth..as I really was aware I was taking up a hospital bed 24\7 when the treatment could be done daily visits.
The staff in OPAT were just great, nothing was any problem to them, very qualified, I felt in great hands.
They even have a phone number for out of hours if anything is bothering you.
Great service and should be extended to more patients that is suitable to use this fantastic service.
