My mum is in her 90s and had a fall in the house, hurting her ribs. She was supposed to attend Health Centre to have her blood pressure taken but realized she was not able to go. I spoke to receptionist to cancel her app and I asked if it was possible for a nurse to come to my mum's home.
Within half an hour a Nurse Practitioner arrived gave my mum a through examination and prescribed extra pain relief and took her blood pressure and temp and also chatted away to my Mum, she even handed the prescriptions into the local pharmacy and these were made up and delivered to my mums door by 2.30.
I can not praise this service enough, it restored my faith in the Health Service.
