Arrange a GP home visit

You can arrange a visit by using our online form and explaining your problem. We can then arrange to see the most urgent cases first.

If you are able to come to the surgery, then we would appreciate it if you could book an appointment. This is because home visits can take up to six times longer than an in-person surgery visit, so it helps the GP to see more patients if you can try to come to the surgery.

You can also bring your children into the surgery if they have a high temperature.

How to arrange a home visit

GP's are not contracted to undertake home visits by the NHS. We offer home visits only to those who are unable to leave the house. If you feel you need a home visit, requests for home visits should be made, before 11.30am in order to allow the doctors to structure their day. By requesting a home visit this doesn't mean you will have a home visit. The doctor will usually telephone you back before committing to visit, in order to assess the problem more formally.

You can also be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should 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.
