Some patients are too frail or unwell to travel to the surgery even for routine care. In such cases, please call the surgery to let us know that a visit may be required.
Please note that we discourage home visits for anything other than terminal care or medical emergencies.
Please note that we discourage home visits for anything other than terminal care or medical emergencies.
Home visits are a poor use of GP time, meaning less time for other patients, it is difficult to provide high quality modern health care outside the surgery, and there is a higher risk of medical errors.
Visits are therefore only carried out where the GP decides that a visit is clinically justified.
