"My poor health"

About: District Nursing / Dundee Enhanced Care at Home Team (DECAHT)

(as a service user),

I was very fortunate to be referred to The Dundee Enhanced Care at Home Team by my local GP recently.

Neither my wife or myself had ever heard of this team of professional medics. We were visited by two experienced and very helpful nurses, down to work straight away with blood pressure readings, blood sample taken and a full inquisition into my current state of health and immediate health ongoings.

The following day, two nurses and two doctors arrived with further enquiries, my wife was gently taken aside and received some assurances regarding proposed treatments for me, this non stop action continued and I soon had a blood transfusion, CT Scan followed by Gastronomy procedure followed by two further iron based blood transfusions -  yes, all of this in less than 3 weeks with results available on day after basis.

Not sure how many members we had visit our home however same applies to all -  very kind, helpful with nothing too much bother.

I officially had these service withdrawn recently, with an assurance the door is always open

How fortunate have I been.

Jonboy,

Apologies for the delay in my response which has been due to a period of absence from work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your experience with the DECAHT team. I am very pleased that we were able to provide timely care and support to you at home. The team will be delighted to hear your positive words.

With best wishes,

Allison
