Requesting a home visit

Please call the practice on 01473 211 661 between 8am and 10:30am, where possible. Reception staff will ask for brief details so a clinician can assess the urgency.

Home visits are only provided when medically necessary, usually for patients who are housebound, severely unwell, or receiving end-of-life care.

Lack of transport is not normally a reason for a home visit. Wherever possible, patients should attend the surgery, where more assessment and treatment facilities are available. 

Non-urgent requests may be postponed to another day.
