Critical Care
Consultus can provide Live in Nurses to manage all aspects of critical care home nursing.
Our Nurses have a great deal of experience in caring for patients with advanced chronic medical illnesses such as Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, ‘Strokes’ and Parkinson's Disease.
Consultus Nurses will be able to liaise closely with other healthcare professionals and help with:
-
The day-to-day personal and nursing care
-
Medication, including injections and syringe drivers
-
Nutrition and PEG feeds
-
Mobility and hoisting
-
Continence, catheters and stoma care
-
Tracheostomies and suctioning
-
Oxygen therapy
-
BIPAP
-
Infection control
-
Support to family members
Private Nurses may be retained for short or longer term assignments. For longer term placements we aim to provide continuity of care with Nurses rotating on a two weekly cycle, although this is flexible. A rota of 2-3 Nurses can be organised for many weeks and months in advance allowing the service provider to plan ahead.
We ensure that each patient has an individually devised care plan and risk assessment which is updated on a regular basis.
