The Vhi HomeCare Medical Team
The Vhi HomeCare medical team works in close co-operation with our nursing teams that are assigned to each hospital catchment area. Initially, a team of full time specialist nurses and doctors will provide services to you in your own home. Our medical team is led by our Medical Director, Professor NG McElvaney.
