• sleep studies
• nasogastric and gastrostomy care
• oncology care and some chemotherapy
• central line care
• long term conditions and complex needs
• oxygen therapy
• symptom control management
• end of life care
• teaching and education

They also offer nurse-led clinics in various venues across the London boroughs of Bexley and Greenwich.
