Home visits

If possible please try to telephone reception before 10am if you require a home visit. The receptionist will ask for some details to enable the doctor to prioritise calls.

You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.

You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.

Pharmacy First

The Pharmacy First Service gives you the option of visiting your local pharmacist for minor ailments. It reduces the need for you to make an appointment with your local GP

Practice Nurses

In a number of cases it might be worth considering an appointment with a practice nurse rather than a doctor. Practice nurses are qualified to deal with many ailments and you may be seen more quickly.
