Nurses agencies
Nurses agencies send nurses to
visit you at home when you need specialist or medical
care, usually after leaving hospital.
The frequency of the visits can vary from several times a day to
once a week.
About 95% of the nurses supplied by nurses agencies are provided
to people in hospital or a care home.
However, some nurses are provided to people in their own
home.
