"Unstinting care in all kind of weather"

About: District Nursing / District Nursing - Antrim South

(as a carer),

My husband requires district nurses to come in 3 times a day. They have been doing this for over a year and a half now. The team is excellent led by sister Gemma, deputy sister, Magali and nursing team, Jayne , Emma , Laura , Deborah , Joanne. 

This team is simply the best. They are like part of our family, and when I was seriously ill too, they looked after us with all the love, compassion and professionalism that anyone could ask for. They come in bright and cheerful and we look forward to seeing them. The nursing care is of the highest standard yet the personal touch is kept. We could not praise the team high enough nor could we thank them for their unstinting care in all kind of weather and circumstances (even when my husband, who has Alzheimer’s, is not so co operative). Thank you team. I just wish I could influence the powers that be to get you nurses all the pay that you so rightly deserve. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hello Eileen9,

My name is Glynis Whittle, Community Locality Manger and lead nurse for Antrim & Ballymena. Many thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience with your district nursing team. I am delighted to hear that Gemma, Magali, Jayne, Emma, Laura, Deborah & Joanne have demonstrated professionalism alongside their experienced and caring role. It is lovely to hear that when they visit your home they come with a bright and cheerful approach. It is always reassuring to hear that our nurses are providing a high standard of care to our community. As you have said "this team is simply the best".

I will gladly share this feedback with the team.

Many thanks

Glynis
