Scottish Nursing Guild can offer nurses to supplement district nursing teams in Scotland and Northern Ireland and public health nursing teams in the Republic of Ireland. Our experienced nurses can complement your district and public health nursing teams to provide care to people living in their homes.
We’re here whenever you need us, for as long as you need us.
Support for district and public health nursing services
At the Guild, we can provide nurses to compliment your district/public health nursing teams to temporarily cover gaps that aren’t filled by the usual rotas. We can also step in to cover annual leave or sick leave to ensure patients in the community receive the right care, at the right time.
Whether you’re short-staffed or have increased demand, we can help you to provide reliable, personalised care. Our nurses can support many complex care requirements, including:
- Continence management (including catheters and bowel management)
- Wound care
- Palliative care
- End of life care
- Medication management
- Chronic disease – support for patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory conditions.
- Pain management
