Home Visits

Home visits are normally for those who are housebound. Home visits can be requested for the same day, if they are requested by 10.30am, by telephoning 01929 553444.

Please state why you need a visit to help us work out who will need to be seen more urgently during the day. Please also give your address and telephone number. If you are requesting a visit for another person, please provide your name and contact details.

Visits are made at the doctor’s discretion on grounds of clinical need and you may be offered an appointment at the surgery if the doctor feels this is more appropriate. You may be visited by another healthcare professional, e.g. community matron or emergency care practitioner (ECP), as appropriate, it may not always be a GP. It will be difficult to predict a time for the visit.

Lack of transport is not a reason for a home visit.
