Home visits
Whilst we encourage our patients to always try to visit the the surgery where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, If you feel you may need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11am.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will visit you at home only if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently the visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule a home visit.
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
