Nurse Services
Many parents/families say that having a child with a disability is like going into a restaurant and finding they have no menu. They don’t know what’s on offer, what the possibilities are, what questions to ask and what to expect.
Our Nurses overcome these problems using their clinical skills and their understanding gained from speaking to thousands of families every year. Best of all our Nurses listen, understand and care. Sad and challenging times face many families in this situation and having a dedicated Nurse to rely on gives immensurable support.

In addition to offering information, support and direction Newlife nurses bring a wealth of wisdom and experience to offer in what are often difficult and confusing situations.
Our Nurses get asked all sorts of questions and are always happy to help.
From who to contact locally or nationally, what a condition and the long medical words mean, how to cope with a situation, what questions to ask at appointments, which professionals do what, what are the possibilities for support, what to do next or who should we ask to see, the Newlife Nurses have answered these questions before and can help. They can also explain the often complex benefit systems and help you to understand your rights.
Newlife also publish various fact sheets and advice leaflets answering these questions and others free of charge and your Newlife Nurse can get these for you.
But most of all the mums and dads that call us simply want to know how they can best help their children and families. Newlife Nurses listen, care and support and it’s all just a free phone call away or via the click of an email.
Newlife Nurses are also the main route to getting advice regarding our equipment grant services so if you have an equipment query just contact a nurse for the help you need and they can provide a grants applications form should you need one or any other assistance.
