What is Parish nursing?

Parish Nursing has been established at Selsdon Baptist Church since September 2008.

As well as the Parish Nurse we have a team of volunteers who run the Drop In. The Parish Nursing Team is for the local community as well as the church. Many people who see the Parish Nurse do not attend church regularly, if at all. Individual health appointments can be made by dropping in or prearranged by telephone on most Wednesday mornings.

 

How can the Parish Nurse help and who is it for?

News

 

At Selsdon some activities have involved groups such as basic life support, losing weight on the Fit For Life course, meeting with young people for Romance Academy and joining in with senior activities during Holiday at Home.

 

People from the community as well as the church have come with personal health worries and have received optional prayer, discussed hospital appointments, results and tests (which have included cancer investigations and treatment). From time to time there have been home visits and on occasion it has been possible to accompany a patient to worrying health appointments.

 

Practical care –the Parish Nurse has been used as another pair of eyes to check for skin changes – which is difficult to do if you live alone…

 

Blood pressure - this has been done in the Wednesday ‘Drop In’ for some time and it was recently well received after the Greenvale service.
