Community home care attendants

We are public health nurses (PHNs) and registered general nurses (RGNs) who work together to support and contribute to community services. We also work alongside other health and social care professionals as a team. You can expect a visit from any member of the nursing team. PHNs and RGNs are based in Health Centres and Primary Care Centres. Primary Care Centres provide many of the health or social care services that you find in your community, outside of the hospital setting. These services are provided by the primary care team, which includes doctors, social workers, nurses, therapists and others. We provide care in the home, the clinic and local schools. We may also use ‘telehealth’ for our consultations. Telehealth is a phone/video consultation (meeting) to check in to see how you are.
