Private District Nursing Care at Home
HP Homecare's private district nurse service provides expert clinical care at home for individuals with complex medical needs. From post-hospital recovery and ongoing condition management to specialist nursing procedures, our experienced nurses deliver hospital-level care in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
This service is ideal for clients who require regular or specialist nursing input, either as a standalone service or alongside a wider care package. Unlike general home care, private district nursing focuses on medical procedures, clinical oversight, and complex health needs.
What is a Private District Nurse?
A private district nurse is a registered nurse with advanced clinical skills, able to deliver medical and nursing care in a home setting. → Many families engage a district nurse as part of post-hospital care at home, ensuring safe recovery and expert oversight during the first days and weeks after discharge. Unlike standard home care services, private district nursing focuses on clinical procedures, complex health needs, and close coordination with GPs, consultants, and hospital teams.
Choosing a private service allows for faster access, greater continuity of care, and a more personalised approach — particularly valuable following hospital discharge or when managing long-term or complex conditions at home.
Who is this service for?
Our private district nursing service is suited to individuals and families who need professional medical care at home, including:
- Patients with complex or chronic medical conditions
- Individuals recovering from surgery or hospital treatment
- Those requiring wound care, catheter care, injections, or medication management
- Clients receiving palliative or end-of-life care at home
- Families seeking discreet, professional nursing support for a loved one
→ For clients needing continuous medical supervision, our 24-hour nurse-led home care provides clinical support around the clock. → We also provide specialist dementia care at home for families who require both complex nursing and daily behavioural support.
