Re-instating home support…
District Nurse
Following discharge from the hospital, a district nurse may need to
call on you to check your wound and remove any stitches or clips
that you may have.

Equipment to help at home:
Depending on the type of surgery you have had, you may
require some equipment to help you to manage safely in your
daily activities within your home environment. Your needs will be
assessed by your Occupational Therapist in relation to essential
equipment.
