Home Visits

Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30.

A request for a home visit is appropriate if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

On occasions where our regular GP's will not be able to visit you within an appropriate timeframe, you may be visited by a doctor from our local Acute In Hours Visiting Service.

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.
