Home Visit Requests

Home Visit Requests

Home visits are done at the discretion of the doctor. If you are too unwell to attend the surgery please ensure your requests are made before 10.00am. Please bear in mind that the doctor can see five patients in the surgery for every home visit and that often patients can be examined more thoroughly in the surgery. If the patient has a temperature or a rash, coming to the surgery will do no harm and will not endanger others, but please inform the receptionist on arrival. It helps us to judge the order of our calls if you describe the symptoms, so do expect to be asked. Our receptionists have been specifically trained to do so and are not just being nosey for the sake of it! You may be asked for your telephone number as sometimes all that is necessary is for the doctor to give you advice.
