Home Visits

Doctor's bagIf possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00 if you require a home visit.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.  The GP may phone you if he/she feels this is more appropriate.

You can 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.

Remember that we can see several patients at the practice in the time it takes for one home visit.  Patients should have their appointment at the surgery if they can.

Lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
