title: Intravenous diuretic delivery in the home.
abstract: The British Heart Foundation is funding a two-year pilot programme at 12 UK sites to assess safe, effective ways for specialist nursing teams to administer intravenous diuretics at home or in day care. Initial findings suggest the service is effective, safe and preferred by patients and carers. It has the potential to reduce inpatient bed days, making significant savings.
