Home Visits

Please note that Home Visits will be made only to those patients unable, because of illness, to attend the surgery. Patients are expected to make their own arrangements to attend and lack of transport or social difficulties do not constitute a reason for a doctor to visit at home.

If at all possible, please request home visits before 9:30am as this helps the doctors to organise their work load for the day. Calls will generally be made after morning surgery and over lunch time, depending on the urgency of the call.
