Request a visitHospital care brought to your door
Home visits bring doctors, nurses and laboratory technicians to your door, aimed at elders, infants and patients recovering after an operation who find it hard to travel in. Visits run on 6 dedicated vehicles kept for this purpose, and are arranged by appointment.
Where a blood or other sample is needed, sampling is done at home rather than asking you to travel in for it. Whatever is found or discussed during the visit is written straight into your hospital file, so the team looking after you elsewhere sees the same record.
