Home Visit Requests

HOME VISITS

At Llandaff Fields Medical Practice we pride ourselves on offering a house call service to our patients. Due to increasing demands on primary care services, ageing population and ongoing national shortage of GP's, we have now had to outline a home visit policy.

Doctors House Calls are only available to patients who are within our catchment area (CF11) and from the surgery and fall under the following groups:

  • Terminally ill patients
  • Nursing Home patients
  • Bed bound patients

Under no circumstances are the doctors of Llandaff fields Medical Practice  able to provide a house call service for those patients who are not terminally ill, nor bed bound, nor lack of transport of their own to attend the surgery.  Babies and small children should always be brought to the surgery where we will do our best to see them promptly. Doctors are vastly more productive in a surgery setting, seeing more patients, reviewing cases and attending to any follow ups. There is also a higher standard of care available in the surgery, with access to all your medical records and medical equipment.

If a house call is required and you fall under the groups mentioned above:

  • Call the surgery before 10am if possible
  • Give as much detail as possible to our team to determine the most appropriate type of consultation
  • If you feel you or your relative is too unwell to attend the surgery an requires emergency care, please phone 999

Our responsibility to you is to help you resolve your medical problem, your responsibility is to take all the reasonable steps you can, to enable us to do that.

Please help us to help you and our patients by visiting the surgery whenever possible.
