The District Nurse is a healthcare professional who provides medical care to patients in their own homes, primarily in the community setting. They play a vital role in delivering nursing services, including wound care, medication management, and health education, especially for those who are elderly, disabled, or recovering from illness. District nurses often work as part of a larger healthcare team, collaborating with general practitioners, social workers, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care. They are trained to assess patients' needs, develop care plans, and support families, making healthcare more accessible and personalized for individuals in their communities.
