ABSTRACT
Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) aims to deliver intravenous antimicrobials to medically stable patients with complex infections outside of a hospital setting. There is good evidence to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of OPAT in the literature. Anecdotally, the feedback from patients has been positive, but only a few studies evaluate this topic in detail. The aim of this qualitative study was to examine patients' experiences with and feedback on the OPAT service in Bristol, United Kingdom, which was established in 2021. A total of 92 patient feedback surveys were reviewed retrospectively, and thematic analysis was undertaken. Feedback from OPAT patients in our centre was overwhelmingly positive. The key themes identified were benefits to the patients, their friends, and family, and positive feedback about OPAT staff. The mean overall satisfaction score for OPAT was 9.6 out of 10. Areas to improve included communication between the OPAT and parent teams, improving OPAT capacity, and expansion of the service.
