Community Nursing is entering a period of exciting transformation and innovation to protect the services we provide for our patients and sustainability of the NHS. In Line with the NHS Long Term Plan and People Plan 2021, Community Nursing Services will be expanding and evolving to meet the ever-changing needs and demands of the NHS.
