About us
District Nurse, Amy, says:
"District nursing gave me my happiness back! For many years, I have been a nurse in Emergency care where I learnt many skills but decided in 2020 I needed a change. Applying for district nursing, hand on heart was the best decision I ever made and I will never look back! I now have a work-life balance, energy both in work and at home. We have time here in the district to communicate and really get to know our patients which I find is a special attribute to nursing. In the community, teamwork is exceptional and we have great support from management who show a genuine interest in helping with your career progression. In one year I have completed two master's level modules which previously I had never heard of and I am looking forward to where this will lead me in the future. Moving into this area of nursing you will learn multiple new skills to enable you to gain further knowledge and enhance your career progression. We still have a busy caseload of patients but your daily nursing tasks are safe and achievable! There are always new skills to learn; we have a little but great knowledge in all areas of nursing instead of knowledge in one specialty. You come to work smiling and leave smiling!"
