The Challenge
30 year old palliative care patient with extensive disease. Now completing pivot transfers. His goal was to have a hot bath to help with pain management. He was not fast tracked, so specialist equipment usually get takes weeks.
The Change
Provided a thorough and clinically reasoned justification for a bath lift. This then came in 2 days.
The Impact
The gentleman was able to have a bath with supervision. He felt his pain was better managed with a hot bath and he was pleased he was able to continue with his usual self care routine and a sense of 'normality'.
