The district nursing service provides 24 hour care for people aged 16 and over who have an identified nursing need and who live in north east London.
The service is provided in the patient’s own home, or in residential care settings, with the exception of post-operative wound care and leg ulcers clinics which are held in health clinics.
District nurses care for patients with a wide range of nursing needs including the chronically sick and terminally ill. They also provide nursing services to those who are acutely ill and need intensive and technological care or who have specialist care needs.
The district nursing service provides 24 hour care for people aged 16 and over who have an identified nursing need and who live in north east London.
Referrals will only be accepted if the patient is housebound; for example, if they are only able to leave home by ambulance, or there is a nursing need that makes a home visit more appropriate such as palliative care.
Referral is via GPs or health and social care professionals. Self referrals can be made by patients and clients.
