Adult Services - Community NursingCommunity 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 for blood tests, complex leg ulcer management, routine catheter changes and a weekend practice nurse clinic in Northampton. Teams within Community Nursing are made up of phlebotomists, healthcare assistants, registered nurses, district nurses and advanced nurse practitioners.
Who is this service for? 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.
How to access this service: Referrals are accepted from GP and other healthcare professionals. Patients being discharged from hospital that require Community Nursing input will be referred directly to the service by the ward. Patients who are already on the Community Nursing caseload can find contact instructions in their patient folder. GPs can use this form Catheter Discharge Referral to NHFT HOUDINI to refer to NHFT for catheter discharge through HOUDINI.
