Home visits can be offered by the
Clinicians at the Eric Moore
Partnership. However, they are
purely limited to the elderly,
disabled or very infirm, bed bound
patients.
Patients are requested to note that
Doctors' time and resources are very
limited in the NHS, thereby visits
will not be given for patients who
do not fit the above criteria. If
transport is a problem, Dial A Ride
Services would offer drop-off and
pick-up service to the Practice for
a small charge. Please ring the
Practice for more details and
numbers
If a visit is genuinely required,
please call the surgery (before
11.00am if at all possible) on 01925
650771 and give all details
pertaining to the reason for the
visit request. A Doctor or a Nurse
may ring back to discuss the request
further. There is no guarantee that
a visit will be granted.
In a medical emergency, patients
should ring 999 to request an urgent
ambulance and not ring for a surgery
visit as visits are usually
performed whenever the doctors are
free and this may be anytime between
1.00pm and 6.00pm or later.
The normal place to see a doctor is
at the surgery where we have all the
equipment and facilities. In
addition, we can normally see three
patients in surgery in the time
needed for one house call.
Most conditions including those
involving a raised temperature, will
not be made worse by a short trip to
the surgery. Children in particular,
if wrapped up, often seem to benefit
from the fresh air. In addition,
they will usually be seen more
quickly.
