Home orthopaedic care
Our orthopaedic home-care programme supports patients recovering from fractures, joint procedures, spine
conditions, or chronic bone and joint problems. Care is planned with your discharge summary or orthopaedic
advice so you recover safely at home.
Post-fracture & post-surgery support
- Cast / splint care: Keep dressings dry and clean; watch for swelling, numbness, or colour
changes in the limb as advised by your doctor.
- Elevation & positioning: Help with safe positioning to reduce swelling where
prescribed.
- Follow-up reminders: Support with clinic visits and investigations scheduled by your
orthopaedic team.
Pain & medication
- Scheduled analgesia: Medicines given strictly as per prescription and doctor
instructions.
- Pain diary: Simple tracking so your doctor can adjust treatment at follow-up.
- Ice / heat: Only when approved for your condition — our staff follow your care plan.
