Nursing at home
Catheter care at home
Catheter changes, troubleshooting and education at home.
From £110
This is not an emergency service. If someone has chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing difficulty, heavy bleeding or collapse, call 999 or go to A&E. We work alongside the NHS, not instead of it.
About this service
Catheter care at home covers planned urethral or suprapubic catheter changes, bag changes, hygiene, and teaching a family member what “normal” looks like. A blocked catheter with pain, no urine, or a very unwell patient can be an emergency: use NHS advice lines or 999 if you are told to.

FAQs
Can you unblock a catheter in an emergency?
Call NHS 111 or 999 if there is severe pain, no urine, fever or confusion. We provide planned care. We are not an emergency unblocking service.
