| HOME VISITS If you feel you require a home visit, please ring the surgery (890400), and tell the Receptionist your details and the medical problem you have. You may receive a phone call from the doctor to enquire further about your problem. If the doctor thinks a home visit is appropriate, he will visit you during working hours. There is no set time for visits, as they have to be prioritised depending on the medical need. Please try to put your request for home visit before 10.30 am when possible. |
