Sickness certificates (fit notes)

Home visits

If you require a home visit, please telephone 020 8765 8525 after 9am or contact the practice so that the GP team can plan and prioritise their workload accordingly.

You will normally be visited at lunchtime after morning surgery has finished. All our staff carry identification. Please ensure that you check this before letting anyone into your home.

Receptionists will ask for as much information as possible in order that the requests can be given the necessary priority. Please note that we follow the national guidelines which states that home visits are made at the discretion of the doctors and are made where the clinical situation requires; for instance, lack of transport is not usually a satisfactory reason for a home visit.

There is no obligation to visit, but preference is usually given to the elderly and disabled, and children should be brought to the surgery. Examination of patients is safer, usually far more satisfactory and complete in the surgery where there is the provision of good lighting and the necessary equipment. We do not visit out of area.

Telephone advice

We offer telephone appointments when you don’t need to see a clinician.
