The ‘Acute Illness Team’ also comprises staff from the GPs and nursing teams. You may be spoken to on the telephone by one of the clinicians to decide who is the most appropriate member of the team for you to see. Steven and Naomi also assess and carry out a number of the Home Visit requests here at Boroughbury for our housebound patients.
