Home Visits

If you need a doctor to visit you at home, please call the surgery on 01744 752521 before 11 am whenever possible. This allows us to prioritise and accommodate your request effectively. Home visits are generally reserved for patients who are housebound or unable to attend the surgery due to serious health conditions.

Before a visit is arranged, the doctor may call you to discuss your symptoms and assess your situation. Please note that a phone consultation does not always result in a home visit; in some cases, you may still be asked to come to the surgery if it is deemed more appropriate.

If you have any questions or need further guidance, our reception staff are available to help and provide advice on the best steps to take for your care.

It aims to make healthcare more accessible, helping you to get quicker care for minor ailments and advice on a range of illnesses.

impetigo (aged 1 year and over)
infected insect bites (aged 1 year and over)

If you are not within the specified age ranges, a pharmacist can still provide advice and guidance on self-care options, including over-the-counter treatments.
