The right team for your needs
Assessment helps us agree whether care professionals, registered nurses or a combined team are needed. We review the arrangement as needs change.
For people whose care can be safely delivered by trained care professionals following person-specific training, competency assessment and an agreed care plan.
Registered nurse oversight does not mean that a nurse is present on every shift.
For packages where trained care professionals provide ongoing daily support while registered nurses deliver specified interventions, clinical reviews or selected shifts.
Registered nursing care
For people whose needs require ongoing registered nursing assessment, clinical judgement or interventions that cannot safely be delegated to a care professional.
Registered nursing at home
Registered nurses deliver care that requires nursing judgement or cannot safely be delegated. Their involvement may include planned visits, particular shifts or ongoing nursing care, depending on the assessment.
Other registered nursing interventions may be considered following clinical assessment and confirmation that SHNC can safely meet the person’s needs.
Where registered nursing care is required, we match the package with nurses who have relevant experience and have demonstrated competence in the care being provided.

Support can be arranged for planned visits, overnight care, short-term cover or continuous care. The frequency, staffing and level of nursing input are agreed following assessment.
Planned visits at agreed times for personal care, medication support, clinical tasks, monitoring or help with daily routines.
Waking-night or sleeping-night support for people who need observation, reassurance, repositioning, personal care or clinical monitoring overnight.
A care professional living in the home to provide ongoing support and continuity. Nursing visits or a combined staffing model can be arranged where registered nursing interventions are required.
Round-the-clock support delivered by a coordinated team across day and night shifts. The team may include trained care professionals, registered nurses or both.
Short-term support that gives family carers time to rest or provides cover during holidays, illness, emergencies or changes in circumstances.
Comfort-focused support that respects the person’s wishes, routines and dignity. Care may be delivered by trained care professionals, registered nurses or a combined team according to clinical need.
No two people have the same needs. Speak with our clinical team about the person’s diagnosis, daily support, clinical interventions, risks and preferred outcomes. We will consider whether SHNC can safely provide the required care and explain the next steps.
