About: Rheumatology / Infusion Unit (ward 9) Rheumatology Infusion Unit (ward 9) Londonderry BT47 6SB

Posted by Teresa293 (as the patient), nearly 2 years ago

I was diagnosed with PBC about 8 years ago and over the years I have been further diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases. I have systemic lupus, sjorgens syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, low platelets, low white blood cells and low immune system.
The quality of care from my GP and my hospital consultant is absolutely 1st Class. As I’m writing this I am in Ward 9/Infusion unit in Altnagelvin Hospital, where I am having a pain infusion for the 1st time.
From the moment I arrived at 8.30 a.m., I have been looked after 100%. The Staff here are amazing, even though it is extremely busy on the ward. I feel that these nurses are extremely overworked and underpaid and yet they keep going for the sake of their patients.
I am in awe of each and every one of them.
