Hi,

Ive been sent an appointment for a picc line insertion in the morning - wasn’t expecting it!

But what I’m wanting to know is, I understand it needs to be flushed and the bandage changed etc.

Am I given the stuff to do that and also receive the training or do I go to my GP surgery for this?

im a bit apprehensive about potentially doing it myself!

Also, are you able to wear normal clothes or should i focus on T-shirts etc?

Thank you!
