Home Visits

Home visits are for patients who are too ill or infirm to come to the surgery. Home visits are very time consuming, so always try to come to the surgery where your doctor has access to our full range of medical facilities.

If you feel that you do need a home visit, please ring the office before 9.30am. Requests are usually vetted so that the doctor can attend cases according to their urgency.

Repeat Prescriptions

If your are on a regular treatment, your doctor may give you a repeat prescription card which will enable you to obtain prescriptions without seeing your doctor every time.

You can request a repeat prescription - in person / by writing / with a repeat prescription card. In order to avoid mistakes and keep the phone free for people ringing for appointments and emergencies, we do not accept repeat prescriptions. These repeat prescriptions will not normally be given longer than 4 weeks. It is advisable for you to see the doctor from time to time if you are on regular medications. Please refrain from asking the doctor to write repeat prescriptions during the consultation with the doctor. Please send a SAE if you are not collecting these prescriptions in person.

A box is provided at the desk for patients' written comments on any aspect of the practice and will be received with interest.
