Our District Nurses are highly skilled registered nurses who have undertaken a specialist qualification in community nursing. Each District Nurse team is led by a District Nurse Specialist Practitioner, and includes registered Community Staff Nurses, Assistant Practitioners and community Healthcare Assistants who support the registered nurses with specific aspects of nursing care.
