Community care

Healthcare in the community is provided by organisations such as Community Midwives, Community Nurses, Health Visitors, MacMillan Nurses and Marie Curie Nurses as well as many others.

Community Midwives

Pregnancy Examination – The Practice offers its facilities to Community Midwives who provide ante-natal and post-natal care for patients. The midwife is normally the first contact for patients who become pregnant and they will co-ordinate care up to and following birth.

Community Nurses

The Community Nursing team provide nursing care to patients in their homes. During periods of short and long-term illness they will visit you (and your family if appropriate) to discuss and plan the care you need. They work closely with your GP and other local specialist nurses, eg, Macmillan nurses, and also therapists, podiatrists, Social Services, support workers and voluntary services – who may contribute to your care. The nurses can obtain specialised equipment, including continence products, to help with daily living.

The Community Nursing Team provide a comprehensive care package to housebound patients, chronic disease management, wound care and treatment. They also provide advice to patients recently discharged from hospital and the terminally ill.

Ring 01754 767554 to contact the Community Nursing Team and to access these services.
