District Nurses & Community Nurses

Our District Nurses and Community Nurses are branches of the nursing profession offering healthcare services to housebound patients who cannot attend the surgery but need nursing care and for whom admission to hospital is not necessary or desirable. This help may include:

• Visits from members of the nursing team to give skilled care or specialist treatments.
• Information about and/or referrals to other community services.
• Support if you are caring for another family member.
• Teaching you or a relative ways in which you can lead as independent a life as possible.
• Confidential advice about nursing matters.
• 24 hour access to the nursing service

Contact with the District Nurses is via the GP or Practice Nurse.
