Home Visits

If possible, please try to contact reception before 10am if you require a home visit. 

The doctor on-call may phone you back to get more information, or it may be that it can be dealt with over the phone, it may be more appropriate to send a nurse, or it may be required that you attend the hospital. 

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability. 

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities equipped in the medical centre for examining and treating patients.
