The Community Nursing Teams provide nursing care, health education and support for patients who are unable to leave their home due to illness, or who have been identified as requiring care from the community nursing service. Community Nursing is not provided by the practice but by Shropshire Community Trust. The care provided by the Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust's community nursing teams is for adults (over 18 year olds) registered with a Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin GP practice who are unable to access specific health care services from their GP or other NHS health care providers.
They offer a 7 day service provided between the hours of 8am to 6pm with last referral being 5pm to patients who are registered to this practice where ever they live.
The service is for urgent referrals only at weekends.
The nursing team work alongside the community therapy team to provide holistic assessment and treatment of patient’s needs.
Patients and families are able to refer to the service but as the District Nurses are out of the office for most of the day we recommend that messages are left on the below number.
The South East Shropshire Community Nurses can be contacted on: 01746 740001 (this is an answerphone system please be prepared to leave a message).
