Nurse-led Care
Superior Healthcare provides specialist nurse-led care to children, young people, and adults who live with ongoing, life-limiting, and potentially unpredictable conditions.
Why do we provide nurse-led care?
Our approach to nurse-led care stems from the personal experience of our CEO, Stewart Thorp. Alex, Stewarts younger brother sustained a traumatic brain injury at age 11.
Upon returning home from the hospital, Stewart and his family struggled to find Alex a care provider with clinical expertise that could integrate into their family life.
This experience highlighted the vital need for a specialist nurse-led care provider. Superior Healthcare was formed to address this need.
Types of care
Whether it’s day or night care, 24-hour care, student support, or live-in care, we can help.
We have a carefully selected team of specialist healthcare assistants and registered nurses, including paediatric nurses, across the UK.

How we coordinate nurse-led care
When you commission Superior Healthcare to provide nurse-led care, we will appoint a Nurse Manager with the skills and experience to oversee your care package.
It’s important to us to handpick a team of experienced healthcare professionals who can enable our clients to get the most out of life and continue doing the things they enjoy.
We work with the client, their family, and any professional partners to create a care package with the client’s individual needs, wants, and goals at the centre.
In our experience, these collaborative efforts result in a higher level of person-centred care, and positive outcomes for the individual receiving care.
Our Nurse Manager and expert team will identify changes in the client’s health, circumstances and personal goals, and evolve the care they provide, to ensure that the client is always fully supported.

What makes us different?
We work with people throughout their lives on a long-term basis. Along the way, our nurse manager and expert care and nursing team will identify changes in each client’s health, needs, and personal goals or lifestyle. The Nurse Manager will adapt the care provided to meet and match the clients’ evolving needs and goals. To implement this, our teams receive ongoing industry-leading training, collaborate closely with stakeholders, and review care and/or rehabilitation plans.
Client-specific training
Our care and nursing team are trained to provide person-centered care.
Nurse Managers identify client-specific training requirements during the care needs assessment and work with our team of in-house clinical educators to deliver client-specific training.
Rehabilitation
We work to achieve successful rehabilitation outcomes when possible.
We take pride in knowing that the quality of our service has led to a reduction of care required by our clients. For example, when we can complete an independent living trial for a client with a brain injury.
Working together
Family involvement lies at the core of our approach. Our nurse managers are committed to ensuring our clients’ families receive robust support that works for everyone.
We work closely with the multidisciplinary teams, therapy providers, and community support services involved in providing a clients care.
