Home Visits

The Surgery, with all its facilities, is the best place for a consultation. However, if you are housebound or too ill to come to Surgery, a Clinician will triage your medical concerns and may visit you at home.

Please telephone us for a home visit before 10.30am. The Receptionist will ask you for some information about the problem and also for a telephone number so that we can contact you.

Please remember that it takes a Clinician much longer to visit a patient at home than to undertake a consultation at the Surgery. Only request a home visit when it is absolutely necessary.

A GP visit is not needed for the following common symptoms:

Fevers, cough, sore throat, earache, headache, diarrhoea and vomiting, most cases of abdominal pain.

In these instances most patients are usually well enough to travel.

Remember it is not harmful to wrap up a child with a fever and bring them to the surgery.

Adults with common problems as above are also readily transportable to the doctor's surgery.
