Home Visits
Home visits are offered as a courtesy to patients who are unable for reasons of frailty to come to the health centre. Unfortunately, not all services are available to be provided at home. For example, some examinations can only be adequately performed at the health centre.
Please note that lack of transport and age are not reasons in themselves to request a home visit. It takes much longer for a medical consultation to be carried out at home and the visiting GP does not have access to the full medical record, which is a moderate safety concern, so seeing the doctor at the health centre remains the best and most efficient option.
If you feel you need a home visit, please ask the receptionist to notify the visiting doctor, who will consider your request. Requests for same-day visits must be received by 11am but are not guaranteed.
