Community Nurses
Patients who are confined to home may need the assistance of the district nurse and your doctor usually arranges this. Likewise, the hospital will normally arrange for a district nurse to call on patients discharged early who may still require nursing treatment at home.
The district nurse can be contacted via either surgery, or telephone Linwood Health Centre on 01505 821426 (answerphone service and weekend enquiries).
Health Visitors
Health visitors can give advice on health care and have particular responsibility for babies, children under school age (and their mothers), the elderly and disabled.
The health visitors attached to this practice are based at Linwood Health Centre (telephone 01505 821412) and may be contacted there.
