Hi List Members,
I am currently reviewing the type of bag that the our allied health staff take into a patients home when doing assessments. Many products on the market are non-impervious and unable to be cleaned. We are looking for something, preferably in backpack style, that can be cleaned.
What are other facilities using for their community teams to take into patient homes?
Kind regards,
Fiona De Sousa

Hope all well, thanks for your help with my last posting!! ……….Everyone was brilliant !!
Anyhow we have two CMH networks in our LHD and they both kindly feedback to me below
1. The GCN trialled and are now using a new style of bag that I believe is a bowls bag, heavy duty (can send order details if required)
2. The GCN take a hard plastic basket into the home with just the basic requirements and the clients needs for dressing change / catheter etc.
Dressing stock is in a hard plastic tool / tackle box which stays in the car. Other items ate stored in the boot.Hope this of help
Cheers
Lindy
