The pain control clinic has been moved into day surgery. My son, aged 48, receives a 5 weekly Lidocaine infusion for pain control due to nerve damage in his back, caused by strokes. This pain control makes his life bearable and the work done by the pain clinic for him is invaluable.
We both feel, since pain control has been moved back to day surgery, that the intimate space provided on Floor 0 has changed. We are very aware that patients recovering from day surgery are in the next bay, and this makes conversation with the pain control nurses, who are fantastic, more difficult.
Perhaps you could consider returning the pain control clinic to a separate area, as the patients would be more able to discuss their ongoing treatment with the nurses.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on this matter.
