What is complex care?
Complex nursing care (or long-term or continuing care) arises when specialist medical support is needed to help manage an ongoing health condition, including a physical disability or neurological impairment.
Our complex care services
Our highly skilled nurses safely and effectively care for service users in their homes and in community settings. They are able to work flexibly:
Filling gaps in staffing provisions
Covering planned or unplanned absences from annual leave or sickness
Supporting breakdowns in care provisions, either as an interim measure or on a longer-term basis
The right staffing, just when it’s needed
We work closely with service users and their care advocates to ensure that they are provided with the right staff at the right time, with the right skills, and for as long they’re needed – whether that’s four hours or 24/7.

- Complex medication regimes
- Continence management (including catheters and bowel management)

Who do we support?
Our specialist nurses provide complex care services to adults and children across England and Wales – no location is too remote. This care can be provided in both homes and community settings. We’re also able to provide support at short notice to those waiting for hospital discharge, but who don’t have the full package of care in place, allowing them to return home while their care package is being completed.
A fast and reliable complex care service
Thornbury Nursing is well-known for being able to manage challenging and complex requirements at short notice. We can be with you in a crisis but are also here to help with mid- to longer-term needs.
So, if your regular providers are unable to support you, or if you’re dealing with a complex or challenging case, just get in touch with us. We’ll be there when no one else can.
Complex care case study
While a young client with complex care needs waited for a longer-term provider to arrive, we provided him with specialist nursing care to prevent hospital admission. He required support with mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy care, suctioning, seizure management, PEG feeding, bowel management, catheter care, and medication management. A core team of nurses provided care continuity and consistency and were able to reassure his parents that his care needs were being fully met.
