Insertion of picc line

Posted By ariestd36

"Insertion of picc line"

About: Craigavon Area Hospital / Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy

(as the patient),

On Friday I attended the surgical ambulatory unit were Susan and Shawna the opat nurses put in a picc line for me. Both nurses were extremely professional and supportive to me as I was extremely nervous about getting the picc line inserted. I was put at ease and everything that was happening was explained to me as they went along. Thank you for making a very nervous patient feel at ease.

Hi ariestd36,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such positive feedback.

I will be sure to share this with the Susan, Shauna and the team.

I am delighted they were able to put you at ease as I know the picc insertion can be daunting but a great method for treatment delivery.

I hope you get well very soon on your treatment.

Yvonne
