Except in cases where someone is unable to leave their home for any purpose at all, it is better for them to be seen at the surgery. The doctor has access to the patients full medical record and a full range of medical equipment.
HOME VISITS
Home visits are reserved for patients who are permanently housebound, severely disabled or reaching the end of their life.
Home visit requests should be made before 11:00am. The visit would be done by a GP in the early afternoon. If you feel your problem requires more urgent attention, please telephone 999.
If you have moved out of area, please register with the local GP at the earliest as it may not be feasible for the GP to provide you home visit due to distance of your new location and shortage of time on that particular day.
