Who is it for?
For someone who needs defined nursing tasks or regular support at home, subject to a suitability assessment.
What may be included?
The agreed scope may include vital-sign observations, wound dressings and prescribed injections or infusions within the nurse’s competence and care plan. Tasks are confirmed before care begins.
Service boundaries
Does not include medical diagnosis, prescribing or changing doses. Not every procedure or consumable is automatically included in a visit.
Who provides it?
A nurse whose qualifications match the agreed tasks; identity and scope should be checked before confirmation.
Preparing for a visit
Prepare your questions and clinician’s care plan, and identify a comfortable, clean visit space. Agree who supplies required materials through an appropriate channel.
What affects the cost?
Visit frequency, duration, task complexity and required consumables.
Assessment and availability
Assessment starts with the type of support, area and timing, followed by review of home suitability and service scope with a professional where needed. Coverage and timing are not guaranteed before confirmation.
Do I need a visit or a shift?
A visit covers agreed tasks at a set time; a shift provides a longer period of support. The choice follows assessment rather than a diagnosis alone.
