 If you do need a home visit, you can help us by calling reception before 10:00am. You may only request a home visit if you are housebound. 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. Please bear this in mind and be prepared to provide suitable details to enable the doctor to schedule house calls.

You can also 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.

The Enhanced Access Service, now organised by your local Primary Care Network (PCN), aims to enhance patient experience by offering routine, pre-booked appointments during weekday evenings and Saturdays from 9am to 5pm. Appointments can be in-person or remote and may involve a range of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, tailored to your specific needs. This service provides greater flexibility and accessibility for patients seeking care outside regular hours.
