Home visits
If at all possible, patients should try to attend the surgery. This allows us to perform our clinical examinations in an optimum environment with all the necessary equipment to hand and also ensures that we can continue to provide an efficient service to our other patients. However, home visits may be made to patients who are housebound or too unwell to attend the surgery. Please make requests for home visits by 10:00am whenever possible. It is helpful to the doctor if the patient can give the receptionist some indication why the home visit is required so that the doctor can prioritise the requests in order to see the most urgent cases first. A doctor may call you back to clarify the need or urgency of a home visit.
