community nurses
Local health visitors
Community nurses are healthcare professionals who provide medical care outside hospitals, typically visiting patients in their homes or at local clinics.
They handle ongoing treatments, wound care, medication management, and health education for people who are elderly, chronically ill, or recently discharged from hospital.
The community nurse comes twice a week to check on my father's diabetes.
