Home visits
Our doctors typically see four patients in the practice in the time it takes to do a single home visit. For this reason, we ask out patients to come to the practice if at all possible. However, we can visit your home if your condition means you cannot attend the surgery. Please ring before 10:00 am to arrange a visit and let us know if your condition is urgent.
Please Be on Time
Please arrive promptly and remember to cancel your appointment if it is no longer needed or you are not able to keep it. This could then be given to another patient who may need to see the doctor urgently.
