Community isn’t just our specialism, it’s who we are and at the heart of all we do. Our priority is to deliver the best possible care in every community, and to help us do this we work through neighbourhood teams.

Nursing in the community - a film by Health Education England

District nurses carry out a huge range of vital work with patients in the community every single day. They provide care in people’s homes, communities, GP surgeries, clinics – and do vital outreach work with people who may not have a secure home.

Health Education England created a film to showcase the incredible work these nurses do. You can watch the video below:

The STaR Scheme

STaR stands for Staff Trained and Ready. Our STaR scheme allows staff to volunteer in other areas of the Trust and temporarily support teams and critical services under extreme pressure. The scheme allows staff to gain experience working in other areas, the opportunity to help essential services under pressure, as well as the chance to develop new skills in a new environment. Feedback from staff includes the following:

“The team were so supportive and so helpful; they were just really pleased they’d got some extra support.” Tracey Butterfield

““I came out of it with lots of pride and a sense of achievement that we were able to support the patients and the team.” Janine Macdonald
