Home Visits

If you are too ill to attend surgery or if you are housebound you may telephone the surgery to arrange a home visit. Routine health care is no longer provided by visiting at home and patient’s travel arrangements cannot be taken into consideration when deciding if a home visit is necessary or not.

The receptionist will require certain information when you are requesting a home visit. This is to ensure the doctor has all of the necessary details and so the doctor can ascertain how urgent the visit is. Please help the receptionist by giving the information requested.

If you need to arrange a home visit please telephone the surgery before 11.00am if at all possible.

It is up to the doctor to decide whether you need a home visit or not and so the doctor may phone you back.
