How to Request a Home Visit

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10:00am if you require a home visit.

A doctor, paramedic or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a paramedic or nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital visit.

House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.

Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Health Centre.
