Infusions (drips)
A nurse comes to your home and gives the infusion your doctor has prescribed, day or night.
What it is
An infusion (a drip) delivers fluids or medication slowly into a vein through a small cannula.
Our nurse places the cannula, stays with the drip until it finishes and removes it before leaving.
Who it is for
- Patients with a prescription for an infusion from their doctor
- After hospital discharge, when treatment continues at home
- Older people or anyone with limited mobility, for whom the trip to a clinic is hard

Common questions
Do you come at night?
Yes. We work 24 hours, 7 days, including nights and weekends.
Who gives the infusion?
A licensed nurse. When the prescription calls for a medical assessment, a doctor comes too.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the type and volume of the infusion. The nurse stays until it has finished.
I do not have a prescription. Can you still come?
Infusions are given only with a prescription or a doctor’s instructions. If you have none, you can book a home doctor visit and the doctor assesses the need.
