Adult Services - Community Nursing

Community Nursing provides countywide nursing care to housebound people only. Our service ranges from providing post-operative dressing changes to end of life care and long term conditions management. We also provide a small number of clinics.

Community nurses provide high quality care for people in their own homes to promote and maintain independent living through information, guidance and training for patients, carers and families.
