Macmillan Clinical Nurse Specialist Team (Hull)
Our qualified senior nurses have clinical and specialist experience and knowledge of palliative and end of life care. We help to make sure that people with life limiting conditions get the best possible care in the community.
The team works closely with district nurses, general practitioners and other health care providers to ensure the best possible care is delivered to patients and their carers. The nurses work alongside the community nursing teams.
We visit, assess and support patients with complex needs in their homes. We also offer advice and support on the phone.
We advise GPs, district nurses, community matrons and other carers about how to best manage palliative care patients.
