HOME VISIT REQUESTS
In recent months the practice has been experiencing an ever increasing demand for home visits.
Home visits are reserved for the following groups of patients
- those too unwell to attend the surgery
- those who are at end of life care
- patients who CANNOT LEAVE THE HOUSE FOR ANY REASON
We are getting requests for patients who are able to attend the dentist, hairdresser, bank and hospital appointments. If you are able to attend these settings then you are not housebound.
While we understand some patients have mobility or transport issues there are often ways around this with help from family and friends, use of public transport.
Why having an appointment in the surgery is safer than a home visit
We have full access to your medical records, medications and results.
We also have colleagues to help should you be unwell and have emergency equipment to hand.
We can do immediate prescriptions allowing medications to be started faster
We can book review appointments or blood tests at the time
We ask everyone to use NHS services wisely and appropriately so that the most vulnerable patients in the community get the best care in the correct clinical setting.
