Community Nursing

Community nurses provide nursing treatments and advice to the housebound and patients recently discharged from hospital. GP practices cannot directly request a District Nurse to visit a patient. Instead they are required to make a referral via the SPA referral system which is run by SIRONA. SIRONA  will then advise if they can add the pateint to their case load for home visits.

They can be contacted on 01275 335657
