Community nurses

The community nursing team provides a high-quality professional service 24 hours a day, every day of the year to the acutely sick, frail or elderly, the terminally ill, and to patients who are discharged from hospital. They offer support to patients and carers on how best to care for themselves between visits and give help and advice through and after a period of illness. They also advise on how to obtain assistance from other agencies, e.g. benefits etc. and how to follow a healthier lifestyle upon recovery.
