Since our specialist clinic is 2.5 hours by car or 1.5 hours by train and public transport, it is an incredible relief for us to have a specialist Research Nurse come to our home for a short visit. This saved us time, money and stress for our 7-year-old son. Above all, it was much more pleasant to have the procedure done in a homely, relaxed atmosphere. A big plus for us, is the empathetic and positive nature of the nurse. Our Research Nurse made the whole process a nice visit, like a friend of the house popping by. Without compromising professionalism!

I have been having regular home visits for a few months now and I have found that having these visits at my residence is so much more convenient for myself. For instance, I feel  much more comfortable in my home setting, rather than an informal hospital setting. It is also beneficial time wise and financially: travelling to a hospital requires my: time, money, petrol and paying for over-inflated parking. So this is a cost saver, not to mention the time it takes drive, park and wait for a nurse to attend to you. In short, home visits eliminate all these inconveniences.
