Home visits



Important: Essential home visits

Except in cases where someone is unable to leave their home for any purpose at all, it is better for them to be seen at the surgery. The doctor has access to the patients full medical record and a full range of medical equipment.

How to book a home visit

If you need a home visit, we ask that you contact us as early as possible in the morning, preferably before 10.00am.

You may be asked to provide the reception team with some details regarding why you require a home visit. Please do not be offended by this. This information is needed so that the doctor can assess the urgency and prioritise visits.

When to ask for a home visit

A health professional will carry out home visits but this is only for patients who have been registered housebound by their GP.
