Community Matrons are trained professionals who are specialists in evaluating complicated medical issues and providing care to persons who live with chronic diseases.

Assist you in attaining and maintaining the highest possible level of autonomy.

Assist you in maintaining command of your health.

Prevent needless hospital admissions

In the event that a hospitalization is inevitable, they work to ensure that it takes place as quickly as possible.

Make sure you have a sense of being supported and cared for.

How exactly do Community Matrons accomplish their jobs?

Community Matrons will collaborate with you to determine the most effective means of providing assistance for you. Here are a few instances of the work that they do:

Carry out a careful analysis of the requirements placed on your body.

Have a conversation with yourself and your family (if it's acceptable) about the many types of assistance and therapy that could be beneficial, and go through your alternatives.

Coordinate the many services you are given to ensure that you are receiving care in the most seamless manner possible.

Maintain communication with other medical specialists in order to give further assistance and knowledge with your authorization.

Prescribe medications for yourself, or with your permission, ask your primary care physician to do it on your behalf.

Depending on your circumstances, matron visits might be as seldom as once, as often as once a week, or as frequent as once a day.

What other options do they have?

Your Community Matron will be available as a point of contact for you to speak with either in person or over the phone in order to get guidance and assistance on matters pertaining to your health.

Because they work closely together as a team to offer you with the best possible care, you may on occasion get a visit from your Community Matron rather than a GP, or vice versa. This is because they will visit you only when it is appropriate to do so. After the Matron has finished her evaluation, you could also get a visit from an experienced support worker.

If you are about to be released from the hospital, the Matron will likely be engaged in the process of assisting your discharge so that you may leave the hospital in a safe manner as soon as possible.
