Home visits

If you are too unwell to get to the surgery you can request a GP to visit you at home. Please let us know as early as possible, preferably before 10:30. The doctor will only make emergency visits after that time.

If you telephone the surgery on 0161 368 3838 before 10:30am in the morning, we aim to contact you by phone to assess your condition, or visit you before 1:00pm the same day.

Home visits take up more of a doctor’s time, so if you are mobile please come into the surgery to be seen.
