Things to know about nursing care..
Helping Hands nursing care, also known as clinical care, is always overseen by an experienced clinical nurse who is registered with the QCHP (Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners) and has extensive experience in the public and private health care sectors. They will make sure that you have the right carers in place that are trained in your specific healthcare needs, providing any extra training if necessary. They will also work with the local Helping Hands team to ensure you have continuity of care and are being supported in the best way possible for you and your preferences, creating a support plan for you that covers every single one of your needs in detail.

Generic home care differs from nursing care because it tends to just involve support with activities of daily living, such as personal care, helping to administer non-invasive medication, help with shopping and preparing meals – perhaps for an hour or so each day. Nursing care is much more involved, often with visits throughout the morning, afternoon and stays overnight or with support from a full-time live-in carer, who will live with you in your home. This is due to the specialist support required such as continence and stoma care, PEG feeding, assisted transfers and hoists, tracheostomies and ventilated care – as well as all of the elements involved in home care.
