NHS 24 works in partnership with local NHS

and help when GP practices are closed. |
| Obtain a Home Visit |
Home visits are restricted to those who are too ill or frail to come to the surgery. Over the past 10 years there has been a marked decrease in the amount of home visiting done by general practitioners. This is because home visits are very time consuming for doctors and examinations are always better carried out in the surgery's modern and well-equipped surroundings. We would therefore request whenever possible patients make every effort to attend the surgery for a medical condition that could be treated by visiting the surgery or speaking to the doctor on the telephone.
If a home visit is essential, please telephone between 8.00 and 10.00am. All requests for Housevisits may be triaged by our Nurse Practitioner who will access patient's clinical needs. Hillbank Health Centre
