Patients are requested to telephone before 10:30 if a visit is required that day. Emergency visits only will be arranged after this time. Please give the receptionist as much information as possible to enable the doctor to allocate priority house calls.
A doctor or a nurse may phone you back, as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse - or indeed arrange hospital attendance.
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the practice.
