My husband had a fall during which he damaged his hand badly (lots of bleeding). Firstly the falls team came and got him up (at 11 pm). They alerted the neighbourhood watch team who sent a district nurse . She came twice during the first night before setting up a further visits by district nurse. team. They came several times/week for about 3 weeks to clean and dress the wound until he was sufficiently recovered to go to his GPs nurse for more treatment. We had a different nurse every visit (we did get repeat eventually) .Without exception they knew their job and did it quickly and efficiently, they were extremely courteous and friendly and I cannot speak too highly of them. They also kept our GP practice informed of what was going on and arranged for GP to visit to prescribe an antibiotic when necessary.
