Home Health Nursing
Home health nurses care for patients in their own homes, from wound care and medicines management to support after hospital discharge. Most people prefer to be cared for at home, and good home care can prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.
At Nursing Science 2027, home health research is presented mainly in the community and public health nursing session. District nurses, home care teams and researchers share models that keep people safe and well at home.

Recent Advances in Home Health Nursing
Hospital-at-home services now treat acutely unwell patients in their own beds, with nurses providing daily visits and remote monitoring. Many patients are older adults with frailty, linking home nursing with geriatric nursing and elderly care.
Home nurses also support recovery after stroke or surgery, alongside rehabilitation nursing, and help people die at home when they wish, in partnership with hospice and palliative nursing.
