"I felt so much more relaxed"

Following a recent visit to A and E at Monklands Hospital I was referred to a Consultant Surgeon who wanted to carry out further tests.  

I was advised that I would be in a ‘virtual ward’ which meant I could go home and monitored by the virtual team using DOCCLA equipment which sent my daily stats to the team.  The further tests were an ultrasound and MRI which were carried out within two weeks as it would have been done while in a hospital ward.  I have now been discharged with follow up in 3 months. 

The Consultant who gave me the results of the scan (I presume Radiologist) and staff in the virtual ward were fantastic and very reassuring.

 I felt so much more relaxed being in my home environment.
