If you are too ill to travel to the surgery you can request a home visit. If possible, please contact the practice before 10:30am to arrange a visit. This will enable the doctor to prepare and to discuss your request with the other doctors when morning surgery is finished. After 11:30am your visit will be dealt with by the duty doctor for that day.

If you believe your need for a home visit is urgent, please tell our receptionist. The receptionist will ask you for some details of the problem so the degree of urgency can be assessed. Details will be passed to the duty doctor, who may telephone to discuss your situation prior to visit.

We may also refer you to the Home Visiting Service. This is a Primacy Care Network service where we can ask another doctor or nurse practitioner to attend. This allows doctors to remain in surgery seeing more patients

Home visits are normally undertaken between 11:30am and 14:00pm.
