IV team nurses are experienced and highly skilled in providing intravenous therapies to patients for a wide range of conditions. The treatment is administered into a vein and aims to prevent avoidable hospital admissions or enable those in hospital to be discharged earlier.
Treatment is provided to anyone over 18 across Liverpool, North and South Sefton and we care for patients in local clinics and will also deliver care to housebound patients.
