    In short

    What the service includes

    A suitably skilled nurse can assess and dress a diabetic foot wound at home, document progress and escalate deterioration. Complex wounds require the appropriate wound-care plan and may need hospital or specialist review rather than continued home treatment.


    Who this is for

    • People living with diabetic foot wounds
    • People needing regular dressing changes
    • Families arranging nursing visits
    • People needing escalation when a wound changes

    What is included

      Assessment and scope

    2. 02

      Records and escalation

    Step by step

    How this works

    1. 1The home assessment

      An assessor reviews the person’s needs, home, routines and risks, then confirms the care plan, professionals and hours required.

    2. 2What can be delivered at home

      Care is delivered at home only when the assessment, professional scope and home environment make it safe and appropriate.

    3. 3Escalation and the emergency boundary

      Staff follow a documented escalation process, but emergencies must go directly to the emergency services.

    4. 4What is recorded during care

      Managed care is recorded against the care plan and reviewed when needs, risks or circumstances change.
