Wisteria's post-operative care service is delivered by qualified nurses with specialist training, combining clinical rigour with genuine warmth and the convenience of care in your own home.
What is Post-Operative Care?
Post-Operative Care at home involves qualified nurses providing skilled, evidence-based care according to an individually developed care plan developed in consultation with our clinical team.
What's included
Who benefits from this service?
Post-operative care at home is appropriate following any major or minor surgical procedure, hip and knee replacements, cardiac surgery, abdominal surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and cancer surgery. Particularly important for older adults with pre-existing conditions or those who live alone.
How it works
Clinical assessment
Our RN conducts a thorough assessment and develops a detailed, individual clinical care plan.
Schedule and coordination
We establish a visit schedule matched to clinical need and coordinate with your GP and specialist team.
Skilled nursing care
Regular nurse visits deliver the clinical care, fully documented and communicated to your medical team.
Ongoing review and escalation
Clinical status is monitored at every visit. Concerns are escalated to your GP promptly, not at the next scheduled appointment.
🩺 Note: Changes in behaviour, confusion or reduced function after surgery are important to report to the GP. Our team observes and communicates these changes, we do not diagnose or manage post-operative complications independently, but we ensure the right people are informed quickly.
