NMC-registered private nurses at home in Newport
Some needs go beyond personal care and require a qualified nurse. When that is the case, a private nurse at home lets your loved one receive clinical care in Newport without a hospital admission or a move into a nursing home. Our nurses are registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and deliver skilled, hands-on care in the comfort of the person's own home, from managing medication and wounds to more complex support such as PEG feeding and palliative nursing. Protocol Healthcare Services has arranged nursing and clinical staffing for more than a decade, and we bring the same standards to Newport that we apply everywhere we work.
We will always be straight about how we operate. Our offices are in the South of England, so we do not run a branch in Newport. What we do run is a genuinely national service, coordinating vetted, NMC-registered nurses wherever they are needed. Everyone we place has completed enhanced DBS and right-to-work checks, references and training before they start, and a consultant is on hand around the clock, so families in Caerleon, Malpas or St Julians get the same reassurance as those on our doorstep.

Post-operative and hospital-to-home nursing
Coming home after surgery or a serious illness is often when nursing at home makes the biggest difference. Rather than staying in hospital longer than necessary, a private nurse can continue the clinical side of recovery in the person's own home. After a procedure or a stay at the Royal Gwent Hospital on the western edge of the city centre, or the Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran, both part of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, our nurses manage wounds and dressings, watch for signs of infection, keep medication on track and support rehabilitation. Being cared for in a familiar home in Rogerstone, Bassaleg or Langstone tends to help people rest and recover, and it keeps families close throughout.
Complex and palliative nursing
For ongoing clinical needs, a private nurse can provide continuity that is hard to match. We support people with long-term conditions who need regular clinical input, and we provide palliative and end-of-life nursing for families across Newport who want their relative cared for at home. Our nurses manage symptoms, pain and medication with skill and compassion, and work alongside district nurses, GPs and community teams so care is joined up. Where round-the-clock clinical presence is needed, nursing can be arranged on a visiting or live-in basis, and can sit alongside our dementia and specialist care for people with more than one condition.
Private nursing across Newport
Newport spreads along the River Usk towards the Severn Estuary, and we arrange private nursing across the whole city, from Caerleon and Langstone in the east, through Maindee, St Julians and Pill, out west to Bassaleg and Rogerstone, and north through Malpas, Ringland, Allt-yr-yn, Stow Hill and Duffryn. Every placement starts with a clinical assessment so we understand exactly what is needed and match a nurse with the right skills and experience. We keep in close contact with families throughout, and adjust the plan as the person's needs change.
Funding private nursing in Newport
Private nursing is priced on a clinical assessment, because it depends on the complexity of the care and whether it is visiting or live-in. We give you a clear figure before anything begins. Many Newport families self-fund, but funding may be available: where a person's needs are primarily health-related, NHS Wales Continuing Healthcare funding may cover nursing at home, and Newport City Council can carry out an assessment under the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014. Care at home in Wales is regulated by Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), and our nurses are registered with the NMC. Our team is happy to explain the routes, and you can read more on our paying for care guide.
