If you need help with your appointment

Please tell us:

Home visits

If you are housebound and need an appointment, we will do a home visit. We will phone you first to understand what you need.

To request a home visit phone the surgery before 11am:

• for Upperthorpe patients phone us on 0114 2751010 and Ecclesall patients on 0114 2363936, Monday to Friday from 8am to 6.30pm, select option 2 to speak to a receptionist

You will be asked to state the nature of the problem as it helps your doctor to decide on the degree of urgency. Home visits are reserved for the housebound and those deemed by the doctor too ill to attend surgery.

Each home visit takes four or five times as long as a surgery consultation, and more thorough examinations can be done in the surgery than at home using surgery based equipment and facilities.
