It is the practice policy that whenever possible patients see their own doctor, as this promotes a closer doctor/patient relationship which helps in the continuity of care and treatment.

Home Visits

If you are too ill to attend the surgery and require a home visit, please telephone before 10.00am, if possible. This will help the doctors to plan their visits for the day. The doctor may telephone to assess the need for a home visit and may decide that it would be better to see you at the surgery.

Please remember that a doctor can see up to four patients in surgery in the time it takes to make one house call. Patients can also be examined more thoroughly in a surgery environment.
