Requesting a home visit

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit.

A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.

Home visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that for every home visit made, 6 patients can be seen in surgery. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Surgery.
