I am currently undergoing Chemotherapy and I wanted to say a massive thank you to Sandra and Pauline from the IV team who along with Sister Lindsey & the team in the Mandeville Unit went above and beyond to deliver my treatment before Christmas.
I had an issue with my PICC line which was going to mean a trip to Belfast for follow up care and a weeks delay in my treatment (which in itself would have had a massive impact on my family's Christmas) I was fortunate enough to recieve timely support from the IV team who went out of their way to see me at CAH during what no doubt was an already busy day.
Thanks to Sandra and Pauline and Lindsey, who coordinated my care, I can now look forward to an appointment free and relatively symptom free Christmas.
I think this is a prime example of how important it is to foster these services within the Southern Trust and make them accessible to all service users rather than just relying on staff's good faith. They really do make a difference to people's lives (and Christmases 🎄)
Thanks again
