What To Expect
Following your child’s discharge from hospital a member of the team will telephone you to arrange a home visit. This will usually be completed within 2 days of your discharge, depending on your child’s Nursing Care need. You will be given either a morning (10:00-12:00) or afternoon (13:00-16:00) visit. Unfortunately we are unable to provide you an exact time in case we get an emergency call which will take priority.
At the first home visit 2 members of staff will attend, this may be two Nurses or a Nurse accompanied by a Student Nurse. Following the first visit one or two staff will visit you and your child per visit depending upon our demands for that day.
At the first visit we will ask you some questions about you and your child so that we can get to know you all better and provide the highest quality of care. We will complete a set of observations including heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturations. We will discuss with you what we will provide as a service and give you opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
