Patient Experience
I have a 6weekly infusion and have been receiving this treatment at a local college during Covid-19 lockdown avoiding the hospital other than for booked blood test appointments which I prefer far more than before as there is no communal waiting area and you are expected. The infusion in a non hospital environment has been a positive experience from ease of parking to treatment at social distancing in a relaxed environment. The Rheumatology Dept have been easy to contact and have also received a video call, I appreciate that no all patients maybe able to have access to a digital app for this service however I welcome this move. Thank you all.

Thanks for posting Sarah. This sounds like a great way to deliver treatment closer to people, especially where they don't live close to a hospital.
