Home Visits
If you are too ill to come to the surgery you may need to request a home visits, but please remember these are intended for the housebound, bed-bound, terminally ill patients or those whose condition will deteriorate with travel.
If you feel too ill to wait in the waiting room please let the receptionist know and we can arrange for you to sit in another area.
The best care can often be given at the surgery, but If you still think you need a home visit telephone the surgery preferably before 10:30am. The receptionist will need to take some details about what is wrong so that more urgent calls can be given priority.
