Home Care and Healthcare Staffing in Omagh

Omagh • County Tyrone

Trusted care and staffing across Omagh

Protocol Healthcare Services works with families and care providers connected to Omagh and the wider County Tyrone area. For families we help arrange home care that lets a loved one stay safe and independent in their own home, from a short daily call through to full live-in support. For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

We should be straight with you about where we are based. Our home is in the South of England, and we do not run a local office in Omagh. What we do have is a genuinely national healthcare staffing reach, and a way of coordinating home care that works the same wherever a family needs us, with enhanced vetting, right to work checks, references and training completed before anyone starts, and a consultant on hand around the clock.

Local knowledge across Omagh

Omagh is the county town of Tyrone, set where the Drumragh and Camowen rivers meet to form the Strule, with the twin spires of the Sacred Heart Church rising over the hill above the town centre. It is a market town with a strong sense of community, and the people who live in its neighbourhoods have very different care needs, from the newer estates at Strathroy and Gortrush to established areas such as Killyclogher, Mullaghmore, Lisanelly, Lisnamallard, Gortmore and Brookmount, and out to the villages of Dromore and Fintona. We tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.

The town sits mainly within the BT78 and BT79 postcodes, and families come to us from across that spread and from the countryside around the Ulster American Folk Park and Gortin Glens beyond. We regularly support people settling back at home after a hospital stay, whether that is at Omagh Hospital and Primary Care Complex on the edge of the town or the South West Acute Hospital in Enniskillen, both run by the Western Health and Social Care Trust. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

In Northern Ireland, health and social care are joined up, so adult social care in Omagh is arranged by the Western Health and Social Care Trust rather than a council. If you think a relative may qualify for help, you can ask the Trust for a care needs assessment. Home care providers here are regulated by the RQIA, the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority. Many families we work with fund their own care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
