Home visits are reserved for patients who cannot be reasonably expected to attend the surgery as they are too ill or infirm to travel. Visits are made at the Doctors' discretion; the Doctor may phone you first to assess the situation before deciding to make a visit.
We ask that requests for home visits are made by telephone before 10.30am whenever possible. Please be prepared to give the receptionists some details to assist the Doctors in planning their visits. The Doctor will visit on the same day the request is made (Monday to Friday).
Children with temperatures can usually be brought safely to the surgery and will be seen sooner than waiting for a home visit.
