Whilst we encourage our patients to come to the surgery, where we have the proper equipment and facilities available, we do appreciate this is not always possible. In this respect, if you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:30.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will contact your prior to the visit and decide the urgently a visit is needed. Home visits should not be requested due to lack of transport to attend the surgery. 

Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls
