Your Care in the Community: An Overview of our Adult Community Services Team
At The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, we’re dedicated to providing exceptional care not just within our hospitals, but also right in the heart of your community. Our Adult Community Services team plays a vital role in this, and we want to ensure you know who they are and how they can support you and your family.
Who are the Adult Community Services team?
Our Adult Community Services team is a dedicated group of healthcare professionals who provide a wide range of services to adults in Wolverhampton and the surrounding areas. They are a crucial link between hospital care and your home, helping you to live as independently and healthily as possible.
The team includes a variety of specialists, such as:
- Community nurses who provide care and treatment in your home.
- Physiotherapists and occupational therapists who help with mobility, rehabilitation, and adapting your living environment.
- Specialist nurses for conditions like diabetes, heart failure, and tissue viability (wound care).
- Healthcare assistants who support with daily tasks and personal care.
Who do we support?
The team supports a wide range of people, including:
- Patients who have been discharged from hospital and need ongoing care or rehabilitation at home.
- Individuals with long-term conditions who require regular monitoring and support to manage their health.
- People with complex care needs who benefit from a coordinated approach to their health and wellbeing.
- Those who are nearing the end of their life and wish to receive care in the comfort of their own home.
- Our aim is to provide holistic, patient-centred care that empowers you to manage your health and well-being. We work closely with GPs, social services, and other local partners to ensure you receive seamless and joined-up care.
