If you request a home visit because your illness makes it impossible for you to come to the surgery, telephone Stourport 827171 as early as possible and, except for emergencies, before 10.30am. Non-urgent visits requested after that time may be postponed until the following day at the discretion of the doctor. Please be prepared to give brief details of the nature of the illness so that the doctor can assess its urgency.
A doctor or nurse may phone you back as it may be that your problem can be dealt with by telephone advice, or that it would be more appropriate to send a nurse, or indeed arrange a hospital attendance.
House visits are only available for patients who are housebound because of illness or disability.
Please remember that several patients can be seen in the practice in the time that it takes to make one home visit. There are also better facilities for examining and treating patients at the Medical Centre.
