About: Medicine for the Elderly

(as a relative),

My husband who has Chronic Kidney Disease, was referred to the team on the evening of 14th march. Next morning we had a home visit from Jaqueline who explained in detail the remit of the team and backed this up  with printouts of tbe stages of his illness. She also confirmed he wanted to stay at home with the famiy. Blood tests were taken daily and results back in less than 2 hours, she returned to explain these and kept us fully informed. 

Sadly these have all led to confirm he has started on the end of life path. 

I cannot praise the team,Drs Din and Flatt, Jaqueline and Kerry  , for the care and compassion given to us both over a very stressful week. 

He has now been passed back to GP and district nurses

Thank you very much for your feedback about the care and compassion given to you by the team, particularly as this must be a difficult time for your family. I am very pleased that DECSa been able to help to keep your husband at home and hope that this can continue.

I have passed your comments on to the team, who are grateful for the time you have taken to pass on kind words.

With best wishes

Allison
