Not quite sat-nav.

Having arrived at clinic today to find that they weren't expecting me, I then got to tag along with the social worker on a home visit. There is a child on Paeds ward who needs to start ARVs but can't until a family member does adherence training so we were going to see if we could find someone appropriate. The first thing we had to tackle however, was finding them at all. We knew that they lived around Madadeni store so drove to that area and began asking around. We quickly found someone who knew where they were and hopped in the car to show us. It struck me that this wasn't ideal for patient confidentiality (though nor is the hospital emblazoned car) but in an area with no streets, let alone street names, it's about the only option we have.
