Home visits
These are intended for the housebound, infirm and those who may be too ill to attend the surgery.
It is always preferable for patients to come to the surgery where we have better facilities for examination and treatment.
Requests for home visits should preferably be made before 11:00am for a same day visit. The reception staff will take details and a phone number and a doctor may phone to assess the need for a visit.
