Can a doctor visit me at home?
Yes, when getting to the surgery is genuinely difficult. Ring before 10am if you need a visit that day, and a doctor will usually call you back first to work out what you need.
We would rather see you at the surgery if you can get here at all. There is more we can do in a consulting room, with the equipment and the space to examine you properly. The building has full disabled access, and there are wheelchairs at reception if you ask for one.
If you need a visit today
Telephone the surgery before 10am. A doctor will most probably ring you back first, to assess whether a home visit is what you need.
Routine visits
Housebound patients are offered routine visits by their own doctor, at a time that suits you both.
What a home visit costs
A home visit is charged at a higher rate than a surgery appointment, and a visit arranged the same day costs more than a planned one. Both are on the price list, along with what you pay if you hold a valid Jersey health card.
Dial 999, or 112, for an ambulance. Do not wait for a call back.
