Home visits specification

If you need a home visit you should contact us before 10am if at all possible. Home visits are for housebound patients only. The clinician will triage the visit request to see whether it is required. A clinician can see six patients in the time it takes for one home visit so these are for patients who never leave the house or cannot leave due to the severity of their illness. Please note that not having access to transport does not mean you require a home visit. It is always safer to be seen in the surgery where the clinicians have access to your medical record and any equipment they need to examine you.

Customer Notice

We are having a new phone installed on Friday 5th August. This should not affect your ability to contact the Surgery as the switch over should be seamless. Please bear with us if you experience any issues.

Kind regards,

168 Medical Group
