Home Visits
The Practice encourages patients to attend surgery.
Home visits (domiciliary visits) are meant for elderly housebound patients, who cannot walk or disable patient who has mobility problem.
Younger patients and children should always come to surgery.
If somebody is housebound and falls ill, patient should contact the surgery before 10:30 in the morning requesting for a telephone consultation and doctor will talk to the patient to determine what is the best way to address patient’s need.
Telephone Consultations
Patients can request for a telephone consultation.
If it is urgent, patients should request so. Otherwise, doctor will return the call either at the end of the Surgery or during the day at any time.
