What do District Nurses Do?
District Nurses tend to elderly, frail or recovering patients in their homes, facilities or clinics across the UK. They provide a high level of care and treatment, which allows the patient to remain at home for the treatment and receive a high standard of consistent care. Which in turn keeps these patients from entering the public hospital systems for care. Mayfair Specialist Nurses is a leading specialty Nursing Agency, and today we explore how and why to make use of our services.
What is a community nurse?
Although District Nurses do actively work in the community, they are not defined as community nurses. Community Nurses are a group of medical professionals who work with the community. These active members of the medical field see patients in several settings, and not limited to a hospital or clinic. They may form part of a private institution or be hired directly by the NHS. According to the NHS There are approximately 860 000 nurses who work within Community Nursing. Each role has its own set of qualifications, training and experience requirements, and not all community nurses are fully registered Nursing Staff.
Community Psychiatric Nurses as well as District Nurses are included within this group. Today we will be looking at District Nursing in particular.

A district nurse in the United Kingdom is a healthcare professional who works within the community to provide nursing care to a wide range of patients.
