Home Visits

Requesting a home visit

Home visits are carried out for patients that are too ill to visit the surgery. If a home visit is required we encourage patients to phone as early as possible in the day giving the receptionist some idea of the problem so that the doctor can assess the urgency.

Please remember that home visits are very time consuming and that facilities are better in the surgery than at home.

Children can usually be safely wrapped up and brought to the surgery. Patients with rashes can be put in a separate room. We request you therefore attend the surgery whenever it is possible.

At all times please ring the Practice on: 01278 454560.
