Home visits are restricted to patients who are very ill or infirm and unable to visit the surgery.

In the time taken to do a home visit, approximately four patients can otherwise be seen therefore we do ask that our patients only request a home visit when absolutely necessary.

It is advisable to ring the surgery as early as possible in the day to request one. If a home visit is requested, it is likely that the Duty Doctor will call back to make an assessment of the clinical priority for the visit.
