How to Request a Home Visit

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

Housebound patients unable to attend the surgery can ask to be seen at home. For GP home visits, please telephone the surgery between the hours of 8.30am and 11.00am, if possible.

In order for us to assess the urgency of the visit you will be asked to give brief details of the problem. A doctor may then telephone to make arrangements for their visit.

Please remember that the doctor can often do more in the surgery than at home.

Most ill children can quite safely be brought to the practice.

Home Visits

Please only request home visits if absolutely necessary, they are only meant for people who, for a clinical reason, are housebound and not able to attend the surgery.

Home visits are normally undertaken between midday and 2.00pm, you should not expect the doctor to arrive immediately following the end of the morning surgery.

Whilst we will try to assist with requests for a certain doctor, we cannot guarantee who the visiting doctor will be. 

We regret that we are unable to provide home visits because patients do not have transport.
