Home Visits
Home visits should only be requested if the patient is housebound or too unwell to attend surgery and would cause a health risk to yourself. All home visit requests are triaged by our GP’s and they may call you back to ascertain the nature of your situation and decide if a home visit is appropriate for your health need.
The Surgery with all its facilities is the best place to hold a consultation and we encourage patients to come to the surgery wherever possible.
