What is Clinical Care?
Clinical care is a form of one-to-one nursing care designed to support people living with clinical conditions or physical disabilities. People living with health conditions like Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, cancer or stroke, often need specialist support to effectively manage their symptoms, improve their well-being and maintain their quality of life.
Clinical care differs from other forms of care in that it often involves specialised equipment and home adaptations such as PEG feeding, ventilators, colostomy bags and BiPAP machines. In order to provide such specialised support, carers must be expertly trained and experienced in clinical care tasks….
How to Keep The Elderly Safe at Home
