How to Request a Home Visit

Please telephone the surgery before 11.00am if you require a home visit. Home visits should be regarded as a service for the genuinely housebound or seriously ill.

Home visiting takes up a great deal of doctor time and we do ask patients to attend the surgery wherever possible as facilities are better for examination and treatment.

In most cases the doctor will call before the home visit in order to let the patient know that they are on the way and to make sure that the home visit is appropriate.
