Home visits
There are a few housebound patients who cannot get to the surgery and for whom we can offer home consultations.
However, visits are time consuming, preventing a doctor from being available for emergencies and the doctor may be unable to examine the patient properly at home.
Visits are difficult to fit in during a doctors busy working day so please, if you think a visit is necessary, phone as early as possible. A doctor will phone you back to discuss this.
