Home Visits

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the Practice. Your doctor will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and they will also decide how urgently a visit is needed. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

If appropriate your doctor may direct the paramedic Primary Care Visiting Service (PCVS)  to attend in the first instance.  The paramedic will liaise with your doctor as appropriate to determine the appropriate treatment for your needs.

You can also be visited at home by a District Nurse if you are referred by your doctor, and you should also be visited at home by the Health Visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with us and have a child under five years.
