Home visits
Home visits are for people who are housebound, or too ill to come to the surgery. Most people, including children and older people, are seen more quickly at the surgery, where we have the right equipment.
How to ask for a home visit
Please call us on 01460 67763 or complete our online form, before 10:30am if you can. This helps us plan visits around our appointments.
A clinician will call you back. They will talk to you about what is wrong and decide whether you need a visit, a phone call, or an appointment at the surgery.
You may be visited by a GP, a nurse or a paramedic who works with us.
When to ask for a home visit
Do
- ask for a visit if you are housebound or too unwell to travel
- tell us if you are housebound, so we can plan your vaccinations and reviews at home
- call 999 in an emergency, such as chest pain or signs of a stroke
Don't
- ask for a visit because you do not have transport. We can help you find community transport instead
- wait for a home visit if someone is seriously ill or injured
