Community Nursing Service

Each team is led by a district nurse with a specialist qualification who manages a team of registered nurses, associate practitioners and healthcare assistants.

We work closely with GPs, social care, local hospitals, hospices, mental health services, social prescribing, specialist nurses and therapists to help individuals to manage their own conditions and to be as independent as possible, remaining at home wherever possible.

The service is available for adults aged over 18 who are registered with a Guildford & Waverley GP and who are unable to attend a GP surgery or clinic due to their current health or wellbeing.

 

This includes patients living in their own homes or residential homes but not nursing care homes.

Referral to the service can be made by your GP, out-of-hours doctor, acute hospital, local hospice or another health/social care professional. 

We will contact you to assess your needs and either arrange a visit to provide care or signpost you to the right service.

You can enquire about the service by calling the Community Co-ordination Centre on 01483 362 020.

We work 365 days a year, from 8am – 8pm.

Outside of these hours please contact the Community Co-ordination Centre on 01483 362 020.
