04 Social Care Nursing
Unlike a hospital environment, care homes offer ongoing care to those who require it on a semi-permanent and permanent basis. We understand the unique demands of working in a care home setting, and we recognise that nurses in these settings are often required to assume leadership roles. Working independently, they offer guidance to fellow healthcare professionals. Our goal is to provide our care homes with the best social care nurses who possess not only the necessary medical knowledge but also have a deep understanding of the social and emotional needs of their diverse patients. Delivering compassionate and patient-centred care while promoting independence and dignity for those living in care homes.
