Service description: Community nurses work within the cluster teams and predominantly serve the housebound
population. They work with primary care in caring for those people who may require an acute, time-limited intervention and/or for those people who require chronic disease management or end of life care, but who do not require the specialist medical assessment and interventions provided by an admission to an acute or community hospital.
Service locations: Care is provided in patients’ homes, but Community Nurses are based in GP practices and
community hospitals.
