Royal College of Nursing comments on district and community nursing
Susan Masters, RCN Director of Nursing, Policy and Practice said:
“Whilst much of the focus has been on care in hospitals, district and community nurses are very much on the frontline of the national response to Covid-19.
"District and community nurses continue to do their vital work through this pandemic. Many of their patients, whether displaying symptoms or not, rely on home visits and they can be reassured that these will continue even in these difficult times.
"At the RCN, we continue to demand that all nursing staff be given appropriate protective equipment so they can work with confidence.”
