Home IV service Ireland
A new community IV service is being developed by the Health Service Executive (HSE Ireland) could end the need for hundreds of older people every year to be relocated to an emergency department when they need rehydration therapy and intravenous antibiotics.
On a visit to St Joseph’s Community Nursing Unit in Longford, HSE chief executive Professor Brendan Drumm said he would like to see the intravenous therapy services available in all of the HSE’s 143 community nursing units across the country as soon as possible.
