Home visits are sometimes necessary and we will always be available for these emergencies. Some visits however, are done for "convenience" and we hope that people will consider always coming to the surgery if at all possible.
If transport is difficult then please consider our bus service or public transport.
If you are too ill to come to the surgery and require a home visit, please telephone 01635 279972 before 1030 hours if possible. This will help the doctors to plan their day and make it possible for your own doctor to visit you rather than the "duty" doctor.
Please remember it takes up to five times longer to do a house call as it does to see someone in Surgery. If you feel it is an emergency then please let the receptionist know so that she can inform the doctor.
If you think your visit request could be dealt with differently please phone your doctor to discuss it with them so you get the most appropriate service.
Our district nurses also visit at home for those unable to get to the Surgery
