district nurse
Local visiting medic
A district nurse is a nurse who visits patients in their homes rather than working in a hospital or clinic.
The term is primarily British, referring to community health nurses who provide ongoing care—wound dressing, medication management, end-of-life support—to people in a defined geographic area: The district nurse comes round twice a week to check on my father.
