Post Surgery Nursing
Recover from surgery in your home with a Consultus Nurse
If you require Nursing care following surgery our Nurses will be able to help.
Our Nurses work very closely with GPs, District Nurses, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and any other Health Care Professional involved in your on-going care.
Post Surgery Nurses can assist with:
- personal care
- wound care
- stoma care
- medication
- nutrition
- promoting continence
- mobility
- physiotherapy exercises
- procuring specialist equipment if needed
- rehabilitation
- prevention of post-operative complications
- promoting independence
- reassurance and encouragement
Post-surgery bookings may be from 4 days - 4 weeks and may be funded privately or by private health insurance (please check with your insurance company; see funding options).
Consultus may be able to help facilitate an earlier release from hospital or convalescent home. In this instance our Nurse will usually meet with you prior to your discharge home and receive a full handover from a Nurse who has been caring for you. You can then travel home together, if appropriate.
Following a successful period of post-surgery recovery with our Nurse, Consultus is always on hand to discuss alternative future care arrangements. The Nurse, if required, will then assist during the transition period following a changeover of care.
Booking Procedure
Our Nurse Consultants will help you to identify whether our service is appropriate for you or a family member/friend. For more information or to book a Live in Nurse:
- Contact us directly and speak to a Nurse Consultant who will be happy to discuss your needs and preferences in detail and give you an estimated cost of our service.
- Complete and submit a Live in Nursing Enquiry Form; a Nurse Consultant will then make contact with you.
We can sometimes arrange nursing at very short notice but to avoid disappointment we strongly recommend that you provide us with as much notice as possible.
