District Nursing Service – Warrington

General introduction

Warrington district nurses provide a 24‑hour nursing service, 365 days a year, delivering nursing care and treatments to patients in their own homes, including residential homes.

They support people with short‑term nursing needs, those requiring care following hospital discharge, and patients with long‑term conditions or a terminal illness.

The team also operates treatment rooms for patients who are able to leave their home and where it is clinically appropriate to do so.

District nurses work in partnership with patients, carers, GPs, hospitals, specialist nurses, community matrons, Macmillan nurses, social care teams and other allied health professionals to help people live as independently as possible.

How to access this service

Any person aged 18 or over who lives in Warrington and/or is registered with a Warrington GP can access the service.

The service operates 24 hours a day.

Access may be through self‑referral or via a referral from a GP, allied health professional, social services, hospital, hospice or voluntary agency.

Following a referral, a district nurse will carry out an assessment to discuss your needs and agree a care plan with you.
