I was dealt with in just over an hour – from contacting the service, seeing a GP and to picking up the prescription. Really impressed.

Find out moreHome Visits
It is requested that patients only ask for a home visit if it is impossible for them to come into surgery. All requests should be made by 09:00 and will be assessed by our clinical team. It is usually quicker and safer for you to be seen at the surgery although we appreciate that this can sometimes be difficult
Much better to use and feel more comfortable being able to put something in writing and then it being picked up when the service is open. It’s hard to talk about mental health to the receptionist and the doctor so just being able to write your request has made me feel I could contact the doctor sooner rather than waiting.
