Home visits are reserved for patients who are housebound or too unwell to attend the surgery.
They are not intended for those without transport. It is generally more beneficial for you to be seen at the surgery, where we have better facilities, diagnostic tools, and lighting to provide a more thorough assessment. Our doctors typically see four patients in the time it takes to conduct a single home visit.
If you require a home visit, please contact the surgery before 10:30 am if possible and provide your details to one of our receptionists. They will consult with a doctor to determine if a home visit is necessary and assess the urgency of your situation.
If a home visit is needed, it may be carried out by either a paramedic or a doctor, depending on your specific needs.
