Home Visits/Emergencies
Home Visits
If at all possible we ask that you attend the surgery, as home visits are reserved for those, who are too frail or unwell to come into the surgery. If you feel a visit is necessary, please telephone as early in the day as possible, preferably by 10:30am. All visit requests will be directed to the duty GP.
Emergency Care
If you need a doctor urgently when the surgery is closed:
Please dial the surgery number: 01223 355060 You will be put straight through to CAMDOC which is the local out of hours emergency care service. It is manned by local GPs and practice nurses and you will receive advice/treatment either on the phone or at Chesterton Medical Centre. If necessary you will receive a home visit. (CAMDOC was recently placed in the top 10% of out of hours services in the UK for quality out of hours care).
