Hospital in the Home (HITH) is a hospital replacement service that allows you to receive hospital level care in your home instead of on a hospital ward
The most common reason you might be admitted to HITH is to receive antibiotics through a vein (‘intravenous’). This is for more serious infections where antibiotic tablets or capsules are not strong enough to treat the infection. Examples of infections treated include:
Skin infection (cellulitis)
Urine infection
Chest infection
Breast infection (mastitis)
Bone and joint infection
Blood infection
Heart valve infection
You may also be able to use HITH if you need:
Intravenous diuretic medication for fluid overload (from heart failure, for example)
Intravenous iron for low iron levels
Intravenous methylprednisolone for multiple sclerosis
INR stabilisation if you’re on a medication called warfarin
Intravenous fluid and anti-vomiting medication for dehydration
Post-operative support after some operations
Help transitioning to community care with an eating disorder
