Specialty Clinics
Our specialty clinics provide the expert care that you can’t get anywhere else
Your staff are dedicated...
"Your staff who help our community are dedicated and marvellous people. We have found Nurse Maude to be a wonderful service.”
While our principles and values are the same, nursing has been transformed by continual advances in training, research, and technology.
Nurse Maude provides a diverse and specialised range of nursing services backed by a significant investment in training, technology and support services to meet the needs of its patients and clients.
Tell your GP, ACC or health professional that 'Nurse Maude' is your preferred provider for all nursing and homecare services.
