Community Health Care and Physical and Sensory Disability
A range of services are provided in patients’ homes, health centres and GP practices across the Trust’s area by District Nurses, Health Visitors and Treatment Room Nurses. In recent years specialist nursing services have been developed to support patients in aspects such as Stoma Care, Wound Care, Family Planning, Continence, Diabetes and Infection Control.
Doctors, Nurses and Allied Health Professionals also provide an essential range of services in the form of School Health, Podiatry, Occupational Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, Dietetics, Community Paediatrics/Child Development and Community Dentistry Services.
Individuals who have physical, sight or hearing difficulties are able to access professional input in their own homes or day centres/resource centres from Social Workers, Therapists, Nurses and Psychologists. The Trust’s Sensory Resource Centre at Bishop Street, Londonderry brings staff together with the voluntary sector (RNID, RNIB & Sense) to provide valuable services in an accessible city centre location.
