I was so pleased to be able to attend the Rapid Response unit in Gransha Park instead of having to remain in hospital, due to my illness, Staphylococcus bacteria in my spine required 6 weeks of IV medication 4 times daily. 
By having a picline installed I had to attend rapid response once daily to have my pinpard ABX attached I was allowed to go home to recuperate. I feel that it would have taken any longer if I had have remained in hospital. The staff appear very knowledgeable and explained what was being done at each appointment. I cannot say how the service could be improved, only to say that I found the service a lifesaver for me and a great way to allow patients to have their medications once daily instead of numerous times. 
I feel that this is an invaluable service and should continue to be rolled out to patients who are fit enough to go home and not require constant hospital admissions.
