Home Visits

A doctor will visit patients at home who are too ill or infirm to attend the surgery. Please request a home visit before 10am if possible, giving the receptionist some idea of why you cannot come to the surgery. This makes it possible for the doctor to assess the necessity and urgency of your case and plan their rounds.

It is better to see the doctor at the surgery; you will usually be seen more quickly this way and at the surgery it is often possible to carry out tests and investigations which cannot be done at home. It does no harm to bring a child with a temperature to the surgery, and we have facilities to separate infectious patients from others waiting to be seen.
