Meet the Hospital at Home team in Clydesdale—a remarkable group of Nurses, Advanced Practitioners, and Nurse Practitioners who have already made a profound impact on the community, despite only being established in August 2023. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to provide hospital-level care to residents over 65 in the comfort of their own homes, helping them avoid the stress and disruption of hospital admission.
What sets this team apart is their genuine compassion and dedication. They are more than just healthcare professionals; they are listeners, supporters, and sometimes even a shoulder to cry on. Whether it’s taking the time to reminisce with a patient about their younger years, or being there for a grieving family, the team at Hospital at Home Clydesdale understands that true care goes beyond medical treatment.
The challenges they face are not always easy—like when a patient is too unwell to stay at home, and the team must carefully balance their health needs with their emotional wellbeing. But through it all, the team remains patient-focused, ensuring that every decision is made with their best interests at heart.
This commitment to care extends not just to their patients, but also to each other. The team fosters a supportive environment where every member is valued, and they always find ways to lift each other up during difficult times.
Despite being a new team in Clydesdale, they’ve quickly earned the admiration and gratitude of their patients and families. From heartfelt thank you cards to boxes of chocolates, the appreciation they receive is a testament to the positive impact they’ve made in such a short time.
The Hospital at Home Clydesdale team embodies warmth, compassion, and excellence in care. Their dedication to keeping patients at home, in familiar surroundings, is transforming the lives of elderly residents in the area. For their outstanding service and commitment, they have been rightfully shortlisted for this award.
