Home visits will be made when a patient is genuinely housebound, too frail, too ill or too incapacitated to travel to the surgery. We will not visit for transport or social reasons. If in doubt, the receptionist will ask you to speak to the on-call GP first. Please phone us by 11:00 am for a home visit request. All house calls take up a lot of the doctors’ time and it is important that the patient genuinely cannot attend surgery. It is the patient’s responsibility to arrange transport to attend the surgery. Therefore, not having transport to attend surgery is not a valid reason for a house call.

Please help our receptionists to help you by giving your full name, address and other relevant details.

Please note, if your health genuinely prevents you from leaving your house, you can request a GP visit. Home visits are very time consuming for the doctors. They may telephone you before deciding if you need to be visited. If you are NOT housebound, please book an appointment at the practice.
