How to Request a Home Visit

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

A request needs to be made before 10:00am. This request is initially taken by a member of the reception team, they will ask the reason for your request as this information enables the doctor to plan their calls and allow urgent visits to be dealt with promptly.

The Home Visit request message will be passed onto the GP/NP on duty, who will then call you and assess whether a Home Visit is eminent.

Please do not call the doctor out unless the patient is genuinely too ill to come to the surgery.

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 for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.
