District nurses

We are supported by a brilliant team of district nurses.

District nurses primarily work for housebound patients and carry out many roles, including:

  • General nursing procedures and investigations
  • Post-surgery care
  • Assessment of patients’ needs
  • Care for terminally ill patients
  • Looking after wounds and leg ulcers
  • Educating patients about self-care

Referrals can be made by a doctor or nurse at the practice, patients themselves or by carers and family members.
