Arrange a GP home visit
If you or someone in your family is unable to come to the surgery because of illness, then you can arrange a home visit.
Important
Please note that a lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
We are not an emergency service and cannot visit in an emergency situation as our clinicians maybe seeing patients and unable to respond in time.
You can arrange a visit by calling the surgery through 01752 403206 between 8:30am and 11:00am and explaining your problem. We can then arrange to see the most urgent cases first.
If you are able to come to the surgery, then we would appreciate it if you could book an appointment. This is because home visits can take up to six times longer than an in-person surgery visit, so it helps the GP to see more patients if you can try to come to the surgery.
You can also bring your children into the surgery if they have a high temperature.
How to Request a Home Visit
These are available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability, and requests should be made between 8.30am and 11am to allow sufficient time for the clinicians to travel after the morning clinic.
The clinician may telephone for more information and may request that you attend the surgery if that is deemed more appropriate. Lack of transport is not a reason to request a home visit.
How to arrange a home visit
You can arrange for a GP to see you by booking a home visit through calling the surgery through 01752 403206.
You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
Change or cancel a home visit
You can change or cancel a home visit by calling the surgery. If your home visit is no longer convenient for you, then it’s important to let us know so that we can help other patients.
If you feel you have a medical emergency then please call 999
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 surgery.
