Home visits are at
the discretion of the doctor and
should only be made when it
is impossible for the patient to get
to the surgery. In particular most
children can be brought safely to
the surgery. Cold or wet weather is
not a justifiable reason to request
a home visit. Please remember the
doctor can see five patients at the
surgery in the time it takes to do
one home visit.
When the condition
of the patient does require a home
visit please telephone the surgery
before 10am where possible.
Home visits
normally take place after morning
surgery from 11.30 onwards. If you
think it is an emergency such as
chest pain, severe difficulty in
breathing or excessive
bleeding/collapse you must call
999.
