The doctors can see at least 4
patients in surgery in the time it
takes to do one home visit.
Home
visits are available for those who
the doctor judges to be unable to
attend the surgery.
Please ring
0844 815 1571 where possible before
10.30 am. The receptionist will ask
you several questions; this will
help the doctors decide the urgency
of the problem and plan their visits.
Please note that the doctor
attending may not be the one
requested due to area and workload.
One of the doctors will usually ring
you back before agreeing that a home
visit is necessary. The visit is
undertaken by a different doctor.
We ask that any
request for a home visit that day is
made before 11am at the latest;
after that time please consider
whether the request can wait until
the following day. The duty doctor
will ring back any request for a
home visit after 11am and discuss
the options available. These options
are are telephone advice, a home
visit the next day, a home visit
that day, or a hospital
consultation.
It is possible to
arrange discounted travel to the
surgery -
