Home Visits

Home visits are intended for patient’s whose illnesses prevent them from attending the surgery.

If you think a home visit is necessary, please phone before 11.30 am.  Home visits are usually carried out after morning surgery but may be later in the day if we have many requests.  In these circumstances, your description of the problem helps us to assess priority

TELEPHONE ADVICE

You are able to speak to your usual GP over the telephone at any time. Although, depending on how busy the surgery is you may be asked to ring back after surgery.  This is because telephone consultations can often take as long as a surgery consultation, which is inconvenient whilst patients are with the doctor.

NHS 111

You are also able to obtain medical advice, 24 hours a day by ringing 111
