Visits
When to Request a Home Visit
Call if possible before 10.0am
Patients should only request a home visit if they are house-bound, have serious illness and are too poorly to attend the surgery. Patients with certain severe conditions that can be easily transmitted from person to person may receive special advice on how they may be assessed and treated,
Doctors are very busy and it is possible for them to see several patients in the surgery in the time it takes to do a single home visit. Think carefully before asking for a home visit and consider the available alternatives. Please read information about these on this page.
We understand that it can often be difficult to attend at the surgery, but we cannot take this into account in most cases. The needs of ALL patients needs to be taken into consideration and we have to use our judgement on priorities.
So that we can more easily identify urgent cases that may need emergency care at the hospital or are in need of an urgent GP assessment, when you ring for a visit please give as much information as possible. You may find the following checklist helpful:

"There is a fairly wide-held belief that patients have an automatic right to a home visit from a GP within core hours (8am to 6.30pm). This is not in fact the case.
"Practices will reach a “reasonable opinion” about whether to attend to a patient at their residence based upon information received on the condition of the patient, and whether it would be inappropriate to expect the patient to attend the practice premises.
"There is nothing to prevent the GP from arranging for the referral of a patient without first seeing the patient, in cases where their medical condition makes that course of action appropriate.
If a patient is encouraged to come into the surgery, it is often on the basis that this is where the best care can be provided. The specialist equipment is located at the practice, tests can be carried out more easily there, and drugs issued."
