Our Services
At Yorhealth, we take pride in delivering exceptional, specialised care led by a team of highly experienced paediatric and adult community nurses. Our services are guided by an evidence-based approach, ensuring alignment with all national guidelines for the care and safeguarding of children and adults. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of care through meticulous planning, expert oversight, and a person-centred ethos.
The complex care we provide is built on a foundation of clinical competence and is rigorously overseen by our Nurse Managers. This ensures that every aspect of care is safe, effective, and consistently of the highest quality. Our robust clinical governance structure allows us to monitor and improve our services continuously, safeguarding the well-being of every individual in our care.
Areas of expertise
Our nursing team and complex care assistants are equipped with advanced training delivered by our in-house Nurse Educators. This training encompasses a wide range of specialist skills and clinical techniques, enabling them to confidently support clients with a variety of long-term, complex health conditions.
While many of these services are traditionally provided in hospital or high-dependency settings, our specialist team is uniquely qualified to deliver the same level of care in the comfort and familiarity of a client’s home. This not only promotes greater independence but also enhances quality of life.
By providing a highly trained care team to carry out airway clearance techniques such as oral suction, deep suction, tracheal, nasopharyngeal and laryngeal suction, we can assist in maintaining better respiratory health, minimise hospitalisations, and improve overall quality of life.
The team’s expertise in airway clearance techniques and ongoing support ensures that clients can manage their condition effectively in the home and community setting.
By providing hands-on support, education, and monitoring, our team can help individuals manage bowel issues in a dignified, effective manner, ultimately improving their quality of life and reducing the need for acute care interventions.
We can cater to a wide variety of complex bowel management methods such as administration of peristeen, rectal administration of aperients, observation and management of bowel output.
Our team will ensure that clients with catheters receive safe, effective, and compassionate care through education, monitoring, hands-on assistance, and coordination with the wider healthcare team.
We can assist with intermittent catheterisation, ongoing care of catheters, emotional support, monitoring, reporting and fluid management.
We can provide practical stoma care support with appliance management, monitoring for complications and escalation of any concerns.
We can assist clients with diabetes to manage their condition in the community by providing a range of tailored services and support. This can include blood glucose monitoring and administration of medication along with insulin administration or hypoglycaemic agents, glucose monitoring devices, meal preparation and emotional support.
Our Nurse managers can act as a liaison between the client, GPs, endocrinologists, dietitians, and other specialists to ensure coordinated care.
Epilepsy can affect people’s lives in different ways and as specialists in epilepsy care and seizure management, we can work with you to create bespoke care for your needs. This could be with seizure monitoring, safety planning and administration of rescue medications.
Proper nutrition and hydration are essential for maintaining health, preventing complications, and improving quality of life. We can work with you to complete comprehensive nutritional assessments and work collaboratively with dietetics and nutrition teams.
Our team are trained to recognise when changes to nutrition and hydration routines are needed and can quickly implement any actions required. We have experience in all aspects of enteral feeding and dysphagia management if texture modified diets are required.
The team can also assist in food preparation, meal planning and recording of hydration and nutritional intakes.
By working with you, we can provide comprehensive support to ensure that oxygen therapy is administered safely and effectively. Our highly trained team are able to recognise deterioration and the actions to take in correcting this. They can also ensure the correct setup up of oxygen equipment (such as cylinders, concentrators, portable tanks) and can assist in stock management.
We specialise in caring for individuals with complex respiratory conditions, working closely with clients and families to fully understand your needs, preferences, and any challenges you may face. For clients needing ventilator support, we know that respiratory care can feel daunting. Our goal is to make this process easier.
That’s why we provide comprehensive training to our staff, ensuring they have the skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver high-quality support for clients using ventilation. We have experience with both invasive and non-invasive ventilation via mask, tracheostomy and laryngectomy and will work with you to find optimal care solutions that work for you.
