CNS Community

This is a specialised palliative team (5 highly qualified nurses) who provide information, guidance and support for patients, carers and their community colleagues.  Each Community CNS (Clinical Nurse Specialist) is attached to several groups of GP's, working closely with them and other healthcare professionals in supporting patients and their families at home.

A leaflet about the Community Clinical Nurse Specialists at ACCORD is available to download.


"I would like to thank the staff, especially Sharon McDonald, Dr Walley
& Dr O'Riordan who were on hand 24/7 when my daughter came home
from hospital and was nursed at home.  Their care was wonderful"
