Description
District nurses provide specialised care/treatment for patients and families in their own homes, if housebound due to their medical condition, or in a district nursing clinic. Their main role is to support and promote a healthy lifestyle in order to help people remain independent.
Whangārei
The district nurses will coordinate patient care; from admission to the service until they transfer care back to the GP practice. They work closely with patients and their health team (GPs, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech language therapists, social workers, dietitians, and needs assessment and service coordinators) to ensure they receive the best possible care.
Referral Expectations
Referrals are accepted by General Practice, Hospitals, Hospice and other health practitioners. Patients cannot self-refer.
On acceptance of referral, the nurse will triage and be in contact with the patient within 24 hours of acceptance. If you have not heard from us, please call us and query your referral.
