Private Nurse
at Home in London

In London a nurse home visit for a single procedure currently starts from £75 in the nurse’s nearest area, rising with distance and with longer visits such as IV drips or hourly nursing care. Each nurse publishes their own fee; you compare them for your postcode before booking and pay only once the nurse has confirmed.

Often within a couple of days and sometimes the same day, depending on which nurses cover your postcode and when you ask. Choose the service and a preferred time; the nurse accepts it or offers the nearest free slot, and your payment confirms the visit. Medelit is not an emergency service: for urgent help call 999 or 111.

Yes. Our nurses currently cover 33 London boroughs, listed in the next question, from the northern suburbs to Croydon and Sutton in the south and Havering in the east. Type your postcode and the booking window lists only the nurses who actually visit your address, each with a profile and a fee, so you can pick the one nearest to you.

For example Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, City of London, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston upon Thames, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Southwark, Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth, Westminster. These are the boroughs inside the areas our nurses actually cover today; the list is indicative and does not guarantee a visit, because availability depends on which nurses are working when you book. Enter your postcode to see who can come to your address.

Yes. Nurses see patients wherever they are in London: in residential and nursing homes alongside the home’s own staff, in hotels for visitors who fall ill or need a scheduled injection during their stay, and in offices for employees who cannot get away. Simply give that address when you book instead of your home address.

Yes. Prescribed intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, including courses that repeat weekly or monthly, can be given at home anywhere in London. The nurse needs a referral letter from your doctor, which you upload when booking the home injection service in London, and repeat visits can be booked with the same nurse.

Yes. After discharge from a London hospital a nurse can visit your parent at home or in their care home to check wounds, manage a catheter, give prescribed medicines and monitor blood pressure and other vital signs, with a referral from the hospital or GP. Visits can be single or planned as a regular schedule; see elderly and long-term nurse care.

Yes. Every nurse who visits in London holds a current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, a DBS check, professional indemnity insurance and references, and has been interviewed by our managing doctors before joining Medelit. Their registration, experience and specialisms are summarised on the profile you read before you book.

For blood tests and enemas, no. For wound, catheter, stoma and line care, injections and hourly nursing care, yes: a referral letter from your GP, consultant or discharging hospital. An IV drip needs the prescription for the drip instead of a referral. The booking form asks you to upload the document whenever the service you choose requires it.

No. Medicines are never carried by the nurse: you buy them in a pharmacy with your doctor’s prescription and keep them ready at home for when the nurse arrives, whether it is an injection, an IV drip or another prescribed treatment. Materials for simple procedures come with the nurse; for anything else you are told in advance what to have at hand.
