Doctors from the service will visit patients at home if medically necessary. This is usually the case where patients are too ill to leave the house or generally unable to get into a car.

Otherwise GP Out of Hours is the best place to see patients who are unwell. Patients requesting help from the service have to organise transport themselves - problems in organising this are not a reason to request a home visit.

GP Out of Hours should not be used to obtain a second opinion where patients are already receiving treatment by their GP

This would best be arranged through your GP
