Nursing Care in Epping
Being near Northern Hospital is useful, but nobody wants to go back there for a dressing change. Our nurses come to you in Epping for wound care, medication and health checks, and work alongside whatever the hospital has already put in place.
Community nursing is clinical care delivered in your home by a registered or enrolled nurse — wound and pressure area care, medication management, continence and catheter support, diabetes and general health monitoring. It is funded separately from support worker time and charged at nursing rates, so it is meant for the things that genuinely need a nurse's training rather than for everything that sounds medical.
