Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible.
Arrange a GP home visit
If you or someone in your family is unable to come to the surgery because of illness, then you can arrange a home visit.
How to arrange a home visit
If you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 11:00am
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. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls
You can also 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.
If you are able to come to the surgery, then we would appreciate it if you could book an appointment. This is because home visits can take up to six times longer than an in-person surgery visit, so it helps the GP to see more patients if you can try to come to the surgery.
You can also bring your children into the surgery if they have a high temperature.
Change or cancel a home visit
You can change or cancel a home visit online. If your home visit is no longer convenient for you, then it’s important to let us know so that we can help other patients.
