If you are too ill or frail to come to the surgery it is possible for the doctor to visit you at home.

Please ask for a non emergency home visit Monday to Friday before 10.00 a.m.  One of the doctors may telephone you to discuss the request.  After discussion you may be asked to attend the surgery where more suitable facilities for examination and treatment are available.

The doctor may delegate the visit to another member of the practice, such as a district nurse when this is appropriate.
