Recently I had my first experience of the OPAT unit at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy and what a wonderful experience it was.
From the moment we arrived , we were made to feel welcome and relaxed.
My husband was shown to the waiting area where he was offered tea / coffee.I was then shown to a chair where a very friendly, professional nurse explained exactly what would be happening.After I had my drip up and observations taken, I was offered tea and they even had biscuits. I had to have several other appointments and they went out of their way to be accommodating to when it was convenient to us.The other patients were all very friendly and we had lots of banter between us and also between the staff too.All in all a very very pleasant experience .I would be more than happy to reassure anyone referred to this unit, what a lovely relaxed unit this is.
"Wonderful care"
