Stomas
Stoma care is a vital part of nursing for patients who have undergone surgery involving the intestines.
Proper stoma management prevents infections and ensures comfort.
This is for patients who have had intestinal surgery and need help managing their stoma.
Nurses are trained to clean and care for the stoma site, offering both in-home and clinic-based support.
Wounds and medication
Nurses dress wounds, ensure medications are taken on time, and manage overall patient care.
Nurses allow for a smooth recovery after a hospital discharge, and they help manage chronic conditions.
post-surgical wounds, chronic ulcers, regular medication management
Nursing care includes the set-up of medication schedules and the monitoring of patient progress at home.
Catheters
Nursing care involves managing and cleaning catheters to prevent complications and ensure proper functioning.
Their involvement reduces the risk of infections and maintains patients’ comfort.
Patients who require catheters do so because of surgery or certain medical conditions.
Nurses provide expert care, cleaning, and monitoring of catheters, whether at home or at the clinic.
IV and IM injections
Nurses administer intravenous and intramuscular injections at home or at the clinic.
This way, patients receive treatments such as medication or vitamins without needing to visit a hospital.
This is for patients who need regular injections for treatments or chronic conditions.
Injections are part of our comprehensive nursing care service that can be scheduled at home for convenience.
Discharged patients: home care
Nurses continue the care of patients after they leave the hospital, helping them transition back to daily life.
They ensure that patients follow their treatment plans, and they support their recovery at home.
This is for recently discharged patients who need wound care, medication, and health monitoring.
Nurses can visit regularly to check on wounds, administer medications, and provide the support needed to ensure a good recovery.

At VisitHealth, our nursing care is designed to support patients either at home or at the clinic. Our experienced nurses provide a wide range of medical care under the direction of a doctor, while some procedures are done independently by the nurse without a referral. This includes administering intravenous and intramuscular injections, overseeing catheters, and assisting with stomas.
Our nursing care also covers the dressing of wounds, blood tests, and administering medication. Much of this can be done both at home and at the clinic, making it easier for patients to receive the care they need without having to travel.
For patients who have recently been discharged from hospital and who need continued care, our nurses assist with wound management, medications, and supporting the patient in following their treatment plan.
Our nursing care service is all about ongoing support, whether it’s after a hospital stay or for managing chronic conditions at home.

I was seen on Friday evening and again on Sunday. The care and kindness from the entire team exceeded expectations. As a mother of a two-month-old baby with a fracture and ligament damage, I received exceptional care. The clinic has modern technology and excellent facilities, particularly the MRI machine. I look forward to continuing my treatment here.

I visited a private clinic suffering from severe pain and nausea. Despite being a walk-in patient with no appointment, I was taken in and received exceptional care. The medical staff were incredibly knowledgeable and caring. There was no waiting time, and they ensured my well-being before I left. Their compassion and professionalism assured me that I was in good hands.

I did not want to spend another 11 hours in Charing Cross A&E as I did last year. My wife booked me in with VisitHealth, and within five hours, I was seen, diagnosed, X-rayed, MRI scanned, and treated with anticoagulants, anti-gastrics, and a plaster cast.

I went in on a Sunday morning and was seen immediately, even having X-rays taken. With the doctor consultation, prescriptions, and X-rays, I was in and out in an hour. Everyone in the office was so kind and warm. It was such a pleasant experience, and I can't say enough good things. I will absolutely return if I need urgent care again. In the desert of horrid urgent care options in London, finally, an oasis.

While on vacation from the U.S., I needed urgent medical care and was fortunate to find a clinic in London. The doctor and staff were amazing! The doctor followed up via phone several times to check on my recovery. I can’t say enough good things about this modern, all-inclusive facility. FANTASTIC!
