The Nurses will provide comprehensive care to named patients in their place of residence. In the first instance care will be provided between the hours of 8am to 6pm on a 7 day a week basis, exact distribution to be agreed in partnership. Over an agreed period of time the intention will be that the Nurses will work in line with the agreed shift patterns for Neighbourhood Teams.

In time the Nurses will be aligned to a caseload cluster within the Neighbourhood Team and will work in line with the Neighbourhood Team model of care.
