Registered Nurse

Here at Dorothy House we provide compassionate care and support for people in our community with a life-limiting illness. Our focus is on quality of life, helping patients to live well and die well.

Our Inpatient Unit at Winsley is a safe and comfortable environment with dedicated medical and nursing care. Patients usually stay for a short time - between seven and ten days. After consultation with a patient's GP or other healthcare professional, we are able to offer short stays at the Unit. Often, this time is used to assess a patient's needs and to plan for future care.
