- Providing palliative care and end of life care
- Teaching health care techniques to patients, family or carers
- Providing equipment to help patients be independent
- Assistance with rehabilitation
- Providing emotional support to family and carers
- Helping patients to contact other community, social and voluntary services
The District Nursing Service provides a 24 hour service, 365 days a year.
