PATIENT CARE:
Patient care is at the core of the Wellstone Clinic’s philosophy. With this in mind the Clinic operates 6 days per week from 7.30 am. Patient planning and dialysis schedules take into account various factors, including where the patient lives, whether they work or have other commitments and their level of dependency.
The Wellstone Clinic at Galway currently uses a range of high quality dialysis machines and consumables supported by IT based Patient Data Monitoring Systems. The machines can provide conventional hemodialysis, hemodiafiltration, high flux dialysis, on-line Kt/V measurement and also incorporate all currently available physiological measurement technology.
Complimentary dietary snacks will be provided to all patients. A dietician is also on hand to give advice and support to all patients.
Individual entertainment centres are provided at each patient station, from state of the art flat screen TV’s showing over 100 movies a month, satellite radio and satellite television.
The Wellstone Clinic provides an array of patient support information for both patients and their families / carer. These include advice on living with your condition, advice on dietary needs, exercise and medication.
The Wellstone Clinic is centrally located in terms of urban and rural access. There is extensive parking available. For those being transported by taxi/bus, there is also sufficient waiting space for drivers.
The Wellstone Clinic welcomes holiday patients from both Ireland and abroad.
