What are your Experiences of the District Nursing Service?
District Nurses provide a 24 hour nursing service over 365 days a year, providing nursing care and treatments to patients in their own homes, including residential homes. They provide care to patients who have short term nursing needs, require nursing care following a hospital discharge, or have a long term condition or a terminal illness. They also operate treatment rooms for patients who are able to leave their home and for whom it is clinically appropriate to do so. District Nurses work in partnership with patients, carers and a range of health and social care professionals to help people live as independently as possible.
