Some patients will have visited the consulting rooms on the first floor – the long corridor upstairs provides a home for a variety of PCT clinical staff. District Nursing Teams who were based in Church Lane and the Park Medical Centre are now accommodated upstairs and travel the relatively short distance to their practice areas to continue to provide community nursing for patients of other practices. We are also the administrative home for the Health Visiting Team that covers Small Heath. The “Omnia District Nurses” are still based in the central core of the building and share rooms with nurses attached to Dr Lewis and Partners as do the “Omnia Health Visiting Team”
Continence Team : The Continence Advisory Service at NHS Birmingham East and North is a confidential service provided for people suffering from bladder or bowel problems. The Team is based at Omnia and is run by Mary Walsh. Specially-trained nurses work with patients to either help cure or manage incontinence problems through specialist assessment and treatment programmes. The Team also offer specialist advice, support and training to NHS colleagues.
Male and female adult clients aged 16 years and over. We also work with our School Nursing and Learning Disabilities colleagues.

Healthcare at Home : In addition, a room is occupied by the “Healthcare at Home” nurses who provide an acute community based service for patients with chronic long term conditions. NHS Birmingham East and North has entered into partnership with Healthcare at Home Ltd, the leading provider of high-tech out-of-hospital healthcare, to bring healthcare services across the trust closer to patients’ homes with a series of pilot projects.
The projects aim to develop personalised care for patients in their own homes, shortening the time they have to spend in hospital and preventing them from being admitted unnecessarily. Learn more about this exciting pilot project whose goal is to improve the access and care of BEN PCT residents.
