Patients are generally seen at the surgery between the hours of 8.00am and 6.30pm, but you may be seen at home if the doctor considers a home visit necessary because of the medical condition.

Where possible please telephone to request a visit before 10.30 am on the main number for your surgery. You will be phoned back by a triage nurse or a doctor to advise you and give an estimated time of your visit. You may be asked to attend the surgery or receive telephone advice for your condition. If a visit is deemed necessary, it may not be your usual Doctor who will call.

The Doctor is not obliged to visit you at home, unless you are housebound or unable to travel due to your condition.

Home visits mean that the doctor can see far fewer patients during the day so we ask that you only request a home visit when medically essential. Please, where possible attend the surgery so that full examinations are possible.
