My care

"My care"

About: Queen Margaret Hospital / Clinical Intervention Unit Victoria Hospital / Rheumatology

(as the patient),

I have rheumatoid arthritis. 6 years ago I could barely walk.   I have been receiving 6 weekly infusions of toxizumab for approx 5 years now.   The results have been life changing for me.   I love the outdoors and can now walk for many miles again and have even climbed a few Munro's recently.   

The care I receive at The Queen Margaret hospital, Dunfermline - clinical intervention is 2nd to none.   The nurses are passionate about the care they give to every patient and take a genuine interest in our welfare.
