District Nurse Team

Sister Jane Munn, Community Staff Nurses Sallie Clarke and Alison Withers with Silvia Peliciolli (Health Care Assistant).

Our attached District Nurses are based in the Emberbrook building and lead by Sister Jane Munn. Jane and her team provide care in the home for those patients not able to attend surgery. Services include;

• Wound management and dressings
• Injections
• Blood tests
• Leg ulcer care
• Incontinence assessment
• Provision of appliances
• Post-operative care
• Catheter care
• Terminal care

They do not provide social care such as bathing and home care (see useful numbers page).

Their location in the same building means they liaise with our Practice Nurses and the GPs over patient care and have access to our computer system and staff to facilitate excellent communication.

The District Nurses are available seven days a week from 0830 to 1700hrs, including Bank Holidays. There is an evening District Nursing Service available from 1800 to 2230hrs.

Referrals to the District Nurse can be made directly by patients Monday - Friday and at weekends on 020 8398 0914 extension 266 (answerphone available) .

To contact the District Nurses outside normal hours i.e. Evenings and Bank Holidays phone ThamesDoc on 020 8390 9991.
