Neighbourhood Nursing Service
The Neighbourhood Nursing Service is essential in preventing unnecessary admission to hospital. Community Matrons provide case management for individuals within community settings who have complex long-term conditions requiring support from both health and social care services. Community Matrons are responsible for providing service users with an individualised care management plan which helps them to increase their awareness and manage their condition.
District Nurses use their skills, knowledge and experience to assess when home-based treatment is the best option for nursing a particular patient.
The service is provided 8.00 am – 8.00 pm, 7 days per week. The out of hours element to this service is provided by our Urgent Crisis Response team (24 hour service)
