If possible please try to telephone reception before 11:00 if you require a home visit. Requests after 12:00 should be restricted to urgent situations. The number to call is 028 96 941594. When calling please give as much information as possible to the receptionist and leave a contact telephone number. Please note it is not possible to request a specific doctor for a home visit.
You may only request a home visit if you are housebound or are too ill to visit the practice. 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.
You can 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.
Sick Children
We are aware of how worrying it can be to have a sick child. If you are concerned about your child we will always see them the same day at the surgery. We do ask that you bring your child to the surgery rather than requesting a home visit. A child will come to no harm being brought to the health centre and can usually be seen sooner. Your co-operation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
