This helps us to plan our daily workload.
The receptionist will discuss your request with the doctor or Nurse, who will then decide if the request for a visit is appropriate. The doctor or Nurse may ask to speak to you directly.
You may also be visited at home by a community nurse, community matron or paramedic if you are referred by your Doctor or Nurse
If at all possible please try to attend surgery. We have better facilities for examining you and treating you in surgery than in the home.
Home visits should be requested only when you are genuinely too ill to travel to the surgery. If you have a rash or a temperature, coming to surgery will not harm or endanger others but please inform the receptionist on arrival. The doctor can see several patients in his or her consulting room in the time it takes to make one home visit.
