Where possible, we prefer to see you at the surgery. Here we have the right equipment and staff to deal with your problem.
If you are housebound or too ill to come to the practice, we may arrange a home visit.
To assist us in allocating visits to our team please call us before 11:00am where possible.
The clinician will call you beforehand, this may be a GP or a Paramedic. They will assess your need for a home visit and confirm times and arrangements for access. Majority of our home visits our dealt with by our paramedic team, where necessary we will appoint a GP.
On occasion we may arrange to visit you on another day.
It may also be more appropriate to arrange a visit from:
• The Community Nurses
• Health and Social Care Connect (HSCC)
The clinician can arrange this for you.
Depending on your symptoms we may suggest you contact 111, 999 or go direct to A&E without delay. These may be for clinical reasons, such as suspected stroke or heart attack.
Not having access to transport is not a suitable reason to request a home visit. To assist you, there are transport options available to patients through the CTLA.
