If a home visit is required please telephone between 08:00-10:00am.
Visits may be requested for a subsequent day if you are housebound.
Home visits are for physically housebound patients only.
Our home visits are undertaken by our Home Visiting Service (which is a clinical team consisting of paramedics, nurse practitioners, and GPs).
Your telephone number will be taken to enable the Home Visiting Practitioner to contact you if he/she wishes; please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the Home Visiting Practitioner to prioritise his/her calls.
Remember the Home Visiting Practitioner can see four to five patients in the surgery in the time it takes to do a home visit.
After 10:00am only emergency visits will be clinically assessed for the same day; the Home Visiting Service Team will make these house calls which may be during the afternoon or after evening surgery.
