"Immunotherapy sessions for extreme allergies"

About: Woodend Hospital / Ear, nose, throat, head & neck surgery outpatients

(as a service user),

For 6 weeks, I have been attending Woodend Hospital for immunotherapy sessions to tackle extreme allergies.  The service is led by Mr Ram who I saw prior, and then his team carry out the weekly injections, where your blood pressure, pulse, oxygen stats and peak flow are monitored for a period of time before allowed to leave. 

This is repeated for 3 years. 

The nursing team are always so friendly, caring and genuinely care.  

This is a fantastic service to offer.  It’s unbelievable that it’s the only clinic on Scotland to offer such life-enhancing treatment as living with extreme allergies is devastating in many ways.  

My sincere thanks to all and for giving hope of being able to live a better quality of life due to such critical treatment.

Dear Butterfly07,

Goodness it's quite a long journey you are on – but hopefully one that will enable you to enjoy life to the full again!

The nursing team and Mr Ram will be delighted with the special mention – it always means a lot to staff to be acknowledged for making a positive difference.

Thanks again for getting in touch.

Take care,

Kirsten
