5pm

I live in Co Meath and I travel to homes in Meath, Dublin, Louth, Kildare and Westmeath. Tonight I will be taking care of a patient in Dublin. I get a handover from my office and the community specialist palliative care day team. I then phone the family at 9pm to introduce myself and to make sure they are managing OK.
