If you need to see a doctor and are unable to come to the surgery, please call your surgery before 11.00am. This allows the doctor to plan their day accordingly.
Whenever possible, however, please come to the surgery as better facilities are available for treatment. Requests for home visits after 11.00am will be dealt with by the duty doctor.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
You can 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.
