House Calls

House calls are generally reserved for the very ill, housebound or elderly because of time involved for the visiting doctor.

Children can generally be safely brought to the surgery.

All house call requests should be in before 11 am where at all possible to allow the doctor to organise his/her schedule.

It is important to give as much information as possible to the reception staff at the time of requesting the call so the doctor can triage the urgency of the calls and prepare appropriately.
