The development of new technology means that compromised patients
previously confined to hospital may now be treated at home. Those
patients receiving intravenous feeding, cytotoxic drugs and new
insulin therapy, are fully trained by the health-care professionals
(doctors, pharmacists and nurses) to encourage self-reliance and
understanding which are vital to success. There are hazards in
treating these patients in the home environment, e.g.
microbiological risks which are currently being evaluated, failure
of equipment, and social problems as patients adjust to a new life
in the community. Neverthless, the balance of benefits favour
restoration of the patient to a self-reliant positive life at home.
The delivery of this important new dimension in therapy was
described at a symposium held in the University of York by
innovators in the field. Discussion enabled the core of knowledge
and experience developed by multi-disciplinary teams to be shared.
The problems of supplying parenteral nutrition and medication for
the compromised patient in the home and the family situation were
aired and solutions presented. The special care for hospital
out-patients receiving cytotoxic drug therapy and safe procedures
for staff handling these agents was presented and together with
responses to questions indicated the direction for UK hospital
pharmacists to follow. More information is needed and it is hoped
that this account of these proceedings will stimulate interest in
these aspects of health care.
