How the nurse can help patient and carer

They are used to working in people's homes during difficult times, and will work with you to make sure that this arrangement is as comfortable as possible for you.

Your District Nurse has arranged for a Marie Curie Nurse to visit for a particular reason, for example to monitor the effects of a change in a patient's medication or to provide a period of nursing care, which allows carers to get some rest.

Your Marie Curie Nurse will phone you before setting out for your home in order to introduce themself and to confirm that they are on their way.
