The District Nurse will visit you at home if you require nursing care and you are housebound. "Housebound" means that you are unable to leave your home or use any form of transport to get to the surgery treatment room or clinic.
Your District Nurse will work with you to identify what your health needs are and together we will agree a plan of care to meet those needs.
