"HITH at SCGH in Perth"

About: Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital / Hospital in the Home Service (HITH)

(as a service user),

After an admission via ED for a painful allergic reaction I was cared for very well on the ward for a few days. I was then transferred to Home Care which continued to look after me, addressing all my worries and concerns and pain management from my own home. I was really blown away with the incredible level of care. Visits and phone calls from dr, daily nurse visits when medication reviews, observations and blood tests were conducted. The peace of mind that I was still actually an in patient so if my condition had escalated I could have been readmitted to a ward if needed really helped me onto my road to recovery. After a week of home care I was discharged from the service but only after the dr felt I was comfortable. I now have a follow-up outpatient clinic appointment to discuss my condition with the consultant team. I was a little sceptical but HITH was a very positive experience. Thanks to Dr Jane and the team!!
