About our service
Our District Nursing Service provides compassionate nursing care to people in their own homes and community clinic settings, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
We support adults with a wide range of healthcare needs, helping people to remain as independent as possible while receiving high-quality care close to home. Our team works closely with GPs, specialist nursing services, advanced practitioners, community teams, and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordinated and personalised care.
We offer support with:
- Wound care and dressing treatments
- Palliative and end of life care
- Acute nursing assessment and treatment
- Long-term condition management
- Post-operative care and recovery support
- Bladder and Bowel care assessment and support
- Bowel care management
- Assessment, administration, and monitoring of prescribed medicines
- Support and advice to help you stay healthy and manage your own care
- Clinical interventions in both home and clinic settings
Patients who can travel may be offered appointments at one of our community clinics or health centres. If you are unable to leave your home due to your health or mobility needs, the Districting Nursing service may visit you at home. Your need for home visiting will be assessed and reviewed regularly to ensure you receive care in the most appropriate setting.
Referrals
We operate an open referral system, meaning referrals can be made by healthcare professionals, patients, carers, or family members where appropriate. For information on how to do this please contact 01619224888 (Option 1).
Once a referral is received, our team will carry out an initial triage assessment to understand your needs and ensure you receive the right care at the right time. We will then contact you to arrange a suitable appointment, either at home or in a community clinic, depending on your individual circumstances.
Our aim is to provide safe, responsive, and person-centred care that supports your health, wellbeing, and independence.
