Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate that this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10am.
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 they will also decide on the urgency and whether a visit is clinically required. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule home visits.
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.
