Treatment Room Service
The Treatment Room Service provides nursing care 365 days a year. They provide nursing care and treatments to patients who are non-housebound.
The Treatment Room provides a controlled environment, privacy, and facilities for carrying out consultations, examinations, and treatments.
The Treatment Room provides care to patients who have a short-term nursing need, require nursing care following a hospital discharge, or have a long-term condition.
