What is nursing care?
Nursing care refers to professional medical support provided by qualified nurses for individuals with ongoing health needs. This may include wound care, medication management, monitoring of health conditions, or assistance with complex physical needs.
Who needs nursing care?
Nursing care is typically for people who require medical attention or supervision due to illness, disability, recovery from surgery, or age-related conditions. It's often needed when personal care alone isn't enough.

Nursing care can be delivered at home, in a care home with nursing (sometimes called a nursing home), hospitals, or specialist units. Community nursing teams also provide at-home visits.
