Information for Patients

Home Visit Policy
Patient requests for home visits are always a high priority for action. Patients are asked to request a home visit before 10.00am where possible, in order for doctors to plan their day (see practice leaflet).

All requests for a home visit will be triaged (clinically assessed) by the duty doctor, no matter what time a patient or carer telephones the practice. Please be able to give a contact telephone number, preferably a landline, for the doctor’s return telephone call.

A home visit is appropriate for any patient who is confined to their home for medical reasons only, otherwise they will be asked to attend the surgery to be seen.
