Community Services

District Nursing

District Nurses are attached to the practice. They are based at Waters Meeting Health Centre. The district nurses provide nursing care for people in their own homes. An evening and night service is available.

Treatment Room

The District Nurses also run treatment rooms for patients requiring changes of dressing, ear syringing, suture removal or certain regular injections. Appointments for all treatment room clinics are now handled by the Central Booking Service (tel 462626). The nearest treatment room is at Lever Chambers or Waters Meeting Health Centre where patients are seen by appointment. There are several other treatment rooms in health centres around the town, but unfortunately there is no treatment room at Halliwell at present.
