| Telephone:
01536 518886 If you are housebound or too ill to come to the surgery and a visit
is necessary at home, please telephone the surgery between 8.30 and
10.30am. Visits are normally made after morning surgery and can take
considerably longer than a consultation in surgery. It is practice
policy that non-housebound patients attend the surgery.
When requesting a visit, you will be asked a few questions about the
problem. This helps the doctors to assess the urgency of the visit so
they can plan their rounds to see urgent cases first.
The doctor may telephone the person requesting the visit to obtain
more information and may ask the patient to come to the surgery. A
request for a home visit does not necessarily mean that the
doctor will visit. It is the doctor who decides what course of
action is the most appropriate. |
