Home Visits

Where possible please telephone reception between 8:30 am - 10:00 am if you require a home visit. Please give the receptionist your name, address, telephone number, age and brief details of your illness.

Eligability:

  • You can have a home visit if you are unwell and housebound or are too ill to visit the practice.
  • Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
  • If you require regular home visits your GP may refer you to be visited at home by a community nurse.
  • You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
