Requesting a Home Visit

Within our Practice Boundary

Home visits are for housebound patients living within our Practice boundary, who are not able to travel to the surgery. If you are either incapacitated or too ill to come to the Surgery you may request a home visit. Please telephone before 10:30am if possible, so that the Doctors can plan their rounds for the day. The receptionist will check  your contact details and ask you the nature of your problem, usually a doctor will telephone you before visiting.

Be prepared to give the receptionist some indication of the nature and urgency of the problem.

If you need a Doctor IMMEDIATELY please tell the receptionist or dial 999. Please remember that a more complete and effective consultation can be done in the Surgery with the benefit of our modern equipment and help of our nursing staff.

The Doctor can see several patients in the Surgery in the time it takes to make one home visit.

Think Pharmacy First

Training

We are a training practice, this means we have GP Registrars working with us. GP Registrars are fully qualified doctors undertaking further  training to become GPs. The Registrars have their own surgeries but can seek advice and guidance from one of the other GPs if required

Infectious Disease

If you have a suspected infectious disease, please inform reception if you suspect an infectious disease, as this will enable us to deal with it appropriately during your visit to protect you, other patients and staff.

Consultations for 16 to 75 year olds

If a patient aged between 16 and 75 years has not had a practice consultation within a period of three years, we are happy, on request, to provide a consultation.
