Wounds heal best with expert, consistent care. Our nurses manage surgical wounds, leg ulcers and pressure sores at home with modern dressings, photographic progress tracking, and a direct line to our doctors if healing stalls or infection threatens.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP or consultant referral?
Not necessarily — call us to discuss. For some complex wounds we may ask for information from your existing team to plan care safely.
Do you supply the dressings?
We can advise on and, where possible, supply the dressings your wound needs. Tell us what is already in use so the nurse arrives prepared.
