Home visits

If you are housebound and need an appointment, we will do a home visit. We will phone you first to understand what you need.

If you are housebound and need a home visit then please contact us before 11.00am.

Our Receptionist will ask you for some brief details of your illness, then you will be called by a Clinician before the Home Visit, to obtain some more information about your illness. This will enable the doctor to schedule their visits according to their urgency.

Home visits requested in the morning are carried out after morning surgery. Any home visit requested later in the day will be dealt with by the Duty GP that day. Please note that a later visit will be carried out by the duty doctor, which may not be your usual GP.
