Please let us know by 10.30am if you need the Doctor to call because somebody is too ill to be brought to the surgery. Please note a patient’s home is a difficult place to assess medical problems, therefore we would request that all efforts should be made to attend the surgery. A doctor may telephone to assess the necessity of a home visit.
Please do not ask for visits for the same day after this time unless it is an emergency.
Please give the Receptionist your name, address and phone number (and the patient’s, if different). We will need to know a few details of the illness to decide which visits are most urgent. This information will be treated in the strictest confidence.
